Didn't know ducks were uncommon there.

Good detail.

A tighter crop on the bird might make this a little more interesting.

Well exposed and nice curves in the water.

Crisp foucs and good subject. The lighting looks like it may have been from a fill flash. if not, it just isn't lit very well. Nice composition and good subject though.

Hey...what kind of duck is this? I took a shot of one of these guys here in WI too and I know it's not normally here either...it's only here for a short time while migrating.
