I liked the water on this one, along with the nice view of the bill strainers. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2017) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Another fine "Duck job" Jerry.
I agree - great water texture.

I like the water too, and nice work on the shoveler. Good positioning, lighting and sharpness. devil

Sweet, Jerry. You always have the best looking water. I might take a bit off the top and left to decenter her a bit more.

Another great duck image Jerry. As others have said the water is amazing. I think I would de-center the dusk also.
