Very nice, Jerry. Beautiful detail in the duck and the water is gorgeous. I like the leaf floating in front of the Scaup.

I like the low water perspective and the slight iridescent purple, nice job in getting this shot, way to go.

Jerry this looks great the water is as good as any I have seen posted, lovely sheen on the head of the duck.

Very nice! The color palette is sweet and I like the low angle.

Wonderful image of your scaup hen. Image has great warmth, and I like the leaf in front and the colors on the head. Sharon
