Nice intimate shot Chris. I like the BG and how it blends so well with the duck's colors. Detail in the duck is great.

You make me sick, Kayler :twisted:

I hope you get something half this good with the male! This is awesome.

I think I can alomost hear it slurping- water must be a little warm. Not bad at all Kayler. You must have used the anti-pasty filter on this one ;-)
