I think this is a great shot! Really like the composition with the foreground plants:-)

Very beautiful image,agree with Darryl.

Absolutely spectacular. I had a duck one to post but now it just looks plain ordinary!!! Yours wins!!!

I agree with Darryl. Something about the plants in this one and the up close and personal shot of the duck.

Great shot, Jon. I do photograph ducks quite often but like mum42 I'm going to have to make sure they're good shots if they're going to live on here alongside your series. Good work :-)

This has been such an enoyable series. Kudos to you Jon.

yay for ducks. good job.

A nice close-up, Jon :-)

very Photogenic Duck

I like your work Jon. I have downloaded more than a few of yours recently. I love the ducks kind expression you captured and the colors in the duck are captured with clarity. Annnnnnd that brings up the one suggestion for improvement. The focus on the duck is just a tad off and I mean just a tad. Ok, I'm picky, but the duck could have been a tad sharper. However, I can understand your concern that the duck may move any minute. So, go ahead and get that first initial shot, THEN take a second shot (if he hasn't moved) and go for absolute perfection.

Great shot none the less.

Worthy of Sports magazine or a similar issue.excellent image
