Mouth Watering Duck (Click for larger view)

Excellent detail, love the little yellow eye watching, and the water droplet adds interest.... but, come on, "Mouth Watering"!  LOL...  Mike

Good composition with great movement and reflections in the water . Good colouring and the droplet is an added bonus . Bill

Hi Alf,

  Wonderful image with beautiful colors, details, droplet & reflection.  Take care, Patsy

Lol,  Yes I know, but I am allowed a bit of poetic licence : - ) 

And I did have another few shots with the same kind of duck with a reflected orange sunset that I was going to call "Duck in Orange Sauce" 

Many Thanks Mike!

I always find that Sigma lenses seem to produce great colours, far better than Nikon, though I have no idea why that is the case. But here I haven't added any saturation or vibrance. 

Thank you Bill!

Many Thanks for your interest and kind words. I have many shots of these birds but the droplet one seemed a bit more interesting.

Beautiful colour and detail in this capture Alf. The water has a beautiful silkiness about it that I find so attractive. Lovely depths of colour, no murkiness. Well done Alf.

How beautiful, Alf!!

Very touching.  Nice capture. Congrats.  Best Regards,

Very detailed and beautiful. Quality is awesome. Bravo.

Thank you so much, it is all very new to me this bird photography and a bit more tricky than I realised! 

The water, yes! I agree, it is one of the elements that appealed to me also. I have a few more of this creature with a warm glow on the water, and that has the same silky quality ...........I think I will post them in my bird folder when I get a moment. 

Cheers Gail!

I am still in the experimentation stages with this new lens, but so far it has proved to be very impressive. 

Many Thanks & Best Regards
