Another beautiful duck image from your hands, Jerry.  I like the relatively low angle you got on this one, yet high enough to get some nice reflections in the water.  A very sweet pose from the drake as well.

I like this a lot Jerry, the duck looks great and the water is amazing. The low pov you got enhances the image a lot too, but it's the eye that makes this pop for me. devil
