Goal to blend duck with the background colors

Wonderful crop and DOF. I would have preferred it if you had gotten the eye really in focus, even at the expense of the rest being slightly blurry. I recently went to a photo seminar, and that's the one thing they stressed to us with animal shots......always get the eyes in focus. At any rate, this is a wonderful capture, and the colors are beautiful as well.

Great shot with nice, warm color tones. Congrats.
