Blue-Winged Teal

I took this photo while out exploring at a Beaver dam for outdoor photos.

This would work better if it was cropped tighter

I think including a little of this beautiful environment adds something to the photo. Usually I too go for the tight crop but I like the way the sharply focused reeds in the foreground and the very pretty water/plant pattern of the out of focus background come together here complimenting this beautiful duck.
