Nicely composed and technically sound...the collar tag is a little distracting...good example of soft and fluffy

I'm so glad this photo did so well. . . I just read your profile, and I think you are wise to be devoting your full time to photography now. You obviously have a lot of talent. It got a 10 from me and became one of my favorites (and I only have 2 or 3). Congratulations!

Thanks everyone for the comments on this. I am thrilled it did so well. I was out back to shoot something else and had my inexpensive 50mm fixed lens on when I saw several ducks taking off. I just cropped this one out close. I wish I would have had my zoom len on. I was however lucky in the fact that this one was the only one that had totally turned to his winter color and I focused on him.

Awesome shot and probably a ribbon winner. Great job all the way around, colors, composition and focus. Fantastic!

wing tips are a little blurred but added points for the water drops...one of the nicer duck pics I've seen
