This Duck was out of the water, having a break late evening befor he swam out and disappeared for the night.
I slightly blurred part of the background except the rock on the left.
Thanks for looking.

I was going to say what a "well balanced" shot this was, but it looks like Jim beat me to the punch! Very nice detail and colour. I'd like to see the duck a bit higher in the frame (or perhaps a bit of a crop from the top). I'd not have known the background was blurred had you not mentioned it.

Lovely pose and details Karl. I don't like the dominant rock.

Very nice Karl - it's refreshing to see the whole bird out of the water. Nice job on the BG. I don't mind the rock, after all, it was there!
