I don't know what kind of duck this but it sure is a looker, the background is kind of distracting, but then you could also say it has a painterly look about it. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Think the bird is somewhat confused by all these reflections Don, lol.

Good capture!

Good looking duck. The reflection is good as well.
The background is different. Must be a swamp.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.

Whatever is distracting apparently, it is most artistic to me !!!
In general this is a masterpiece, Don.

Great angle capturing this Common Merganser, I also think the upper part background could have been toned down, as Bob said it's a little busy. But other then that I think is a super shot

A nice close up on the merganser and a reflection in the photo, Don. Good colours in the image.
