Jerry, comp looks good and the water is beautiful as usual. I like the low pov and that orange eye just pops out of the frame. You have a very special location for duck photography that has afforded you many top notch images. Merry Christmas!  devil

Lovely detail, perfect exposure, and a nice little head lift, Jerry.  A very good image.

Very nice, and I really like the low angle and the head lift. Good exposure, getting the purplish sheen, and very nice detail in the head and body. The white in the bill might be just a tiny bit hot, but it doesn't detract.

Really nice exposure on this Ring-necked Jerry. Not easy to expose the whites in the bill properly, but you did a very fine job of it.
