Male red-crested pochard giving me the eye!

Great shot! The feathers almost look like a painting. Then there's the "texture"? of the water. The eye just makes it and maybe is why this shot feels surreal to me. "I'll swallow your foul!"

I like the downward angle shot with the duck tilting its head up at you , good capture of the red eye , good sharpness and details , nice clear water sets off the duck ..

Beautiful presentation of this gorgeous Red-crested Pochard. Good camera techniques and nice is the angle of your shot. Superb eye clarity and how unusual to have a red eye. I love the movement in the water and the beautiful artistic background. Your framing is perfect and photo well composed. Your focus sharp with nice lighting and good details of the feathers and markings. Your background accentuates your photography beautifully. This is nice work and thanks for sharing!

This is a lovely shot of the bird! You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

This is a great look at a kind of duck that I've never before seen. The sharpness and color are great. I agree that this is a wonderful pose.

I love this photograph! I don't know anything about photography, so I don't know what you did, but I love the way you manipulated this photograph! The water is a little unreal looking and it gives a very painterly look to the piece. The red eye makes a great focal point. Awesome work!

I have never heard of this duck let alone seen one. I think he is a beautiful bird and I like the color palette in this fine shot. Great composition and fine details.

Nice capture. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The angle of the shot of this duck in the water is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

This is a fantastic shot and the focus almost looks like you could pet him/her right off of the screen. This is well centered and the colors are really great, you can almost feel this duck swimming or just floating. JackJr.
