 We always have small groups of ducks and geese around Phoenix , but during the winter months the number increases. Flocks in formation, though rare, can be seen at times flying around the city. Caught this one at a park in town. Closest thing we have to wildlife next to pigeons.

Cropped
Slight adjustment to contrast and saturation.
Resized to meet specs.

I would like to have seen a little more space between the ducks beak and
the edge of the photo. Still very nice 6

Happy little duck! He looks like he's smiling :) I think it could use more background, not so tight a crop. Maybe it's just the reflections off the water that makes it seem like there's no room for the duck. Nice details and colors

Nice color and detail, though the beak reflection looks oddly thick compared to the bill.

Nice reflection. I like the olive green/blue of the water. Wish the crop weren't quite so tight.
