I like this very much! I wonder if you could improve the whites a bit as it looks a little hot on my monitor.

Actually the correct name for these nowadays is White-faced Whistling Ducks - an excellent shot of a behavior very common for this species - they will do it for hours sometimes.

Very nice colors and love the composition here. The whites aren't too bad, A few spots are a little hot but the overall exposure looks great.
