Nice job capturing the iridescent blues & greens, Randy. I really like the water drop. To my eye the head looks like it might be a bit oversharpened (kind of a grainy look). Beautiful water.

I like the low water perspective, the water drop and the wonderful light to bring out the wood duck colors, way to go.

They make great subjects and this is no exception.! maybe a bit more space left would be good in my opinion but others will no doubt not agree.
Great picture though.

The colors look very good to me, a great POV Randy.
I especially like the water colors, & the drop adds nicely as well! :toast:

Really nice capture! I also went to the zoo when I was there...it was incredible! I even had a mallard hen stick her head in my jacket! Sharon
