Beautiful shot, Doug!

The water is like silk.

Gorgeous water and colors on the duck. The lighting here is really nice. It looks as if he's swimming uphill as it needs a bit of rotation (CW)
Great image Doug!

Great color, and I like the front-on-look. I agree that it appears to need a CW rotation. Too bad the reflection is a little tight at the bottom.

Nice light, the water has a nice and smooth. Agree on the rotation, but if you do that you are going to loose evern more of the reflection (which is already a little tight IMO). You might then like to crop quite a bit off the bottom to remove all the head reflection. Justy an idea.

They are so beautiful. Nice shot, seems tilted. Tilted or no, I wish I had one as nice.

A very nice shot in good light. It is significantly tilted - the reflection should be vertically aligned with the primary image if the camera were level.

A very nice shot of one of my favorite ducks. I love the water color. :)

Doug,

Great colors. I'd rotate this and add some space below the reflection.

Jim
Enjoy viewing

Nice one, Doug. Is this new or from your old, worn out spot?

Doug,
What beautiful colors. I think I would prefer a little more room above and a little less room below.

Hi Doug. Love the lighting in this one and the silky water. I especially
love the electric blue wake.

Sweet Doug,

Love the bird and the silky water. The rotation issue is the only nit for this one.
