		| | The droplets of water look great against the black feathers.  I like how the beak comes down to the right hand corner.  I would crop at the top.  Narrow DOF works well too. Wish the lighting or the composition were more compelling - while the picture is nice it just doesnt catch my eye. |

		| | Nice shooting. I wonder if you placement of that head within frame is ideal - I'd perhaps have tried to frame the whole head more cemtrally, which would move the eye, the natural point of first focus,  to a stronger place in frame, and, I think, have made a more interesting graphic contribution to the entirety of the composition of the dark line of the neck. Obviously, there may beother reasons forcing this crop, but I am talking about an ideal. 
 None of which is to subtract from the great sense of detail and texture you've captured here, of course.

		| | Very crisp with a great DOF.  I've never seen a black duck and this is a very cool photo. |
