"Perfect" Duck - replaced original posting

Very good job.....

great duck shot !

Clone out the floating leaf? Crop tighter?

Nice shot. I, too, would like to see a tighter cropping.

A good sharp shot

Nice image, very good light. Maybe (just maybe) clone out the leaf; I wouldn't crop any tighter....I like to see some amount of the animal's surroundings, and I like the balance (top vs bottom) as is.

Wood Duck (Aix Sponsa)

I am from Brazil, so i had never seen this duck before. I doubted it was real, but i looked for aix sponsa, and there it was... i am delighted!

It does look "fake", but it's very real. Amazing what nature comes up with!
