I like it, although I might clone out the feather in the lower front. But that's just minor.

Nice image. I agree about the feather. I'd also rotate the canvas 3.6 degrees CW to level it. Good lighting and sharpness and subject placement.

Nice shot! I agree about removing the feather. I like the wavy reflection and the little bow wave she is kicking up.

A very nice shot of this gal. I really like how the primary color of the water is brown and the wake is green.

Rotate and clone are all this needs, IMO. :D

Joseph, Love the water and the reflection. I too would clone out the imposter feather. The bird looks a little over exposed to me by just a bit.

Joseph:

A little overexposed, easily corrected in PS. Otherwise a gorgeous female.

Very nice bird and water Joseph! you did well as she appears to be motoring quite fast. Just a slight rotation and clone out that feather as has already been suggested and its fine. 8) :)

What Steve said only would add a little more USM! (Would love to find a canvasback female.)

These are really neat looking duck! Like the others I would clone out that feather in a heartbeat. Other than that I love the muted reflection and the little bow wave.
