Terrific low angle view with soft surroundings brings out a 3D look. The lighting is very nice and helps bring out the iridescence of the head and neck feathers. Very nice overall image.

Sweet portrait of this beauty, you captured those iridescent colors nicely! I really enjoy your low perspective too.

An excellent image, Dan, with great lighting, and that special low perspective, so effective of course for this type of image. The slight wake, gives a
nice quiet motion to your photograph, as well.

Beautiful- even captured the ring on the neck! Love the quality of the water you got with the very low perspective here.

A lovely eye level view of this smart looking drake, Dan. Beautiful iridescence in the dark plumage and nice silky water to set him off.
