This is a wonderful shot of bird and the ripples in water! You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck in the contest!

A nice contest entry, I like the image of the blue winged teal duck as it sits in the centre of the water ripples, good contrasting colour,
Well framed. Good luck in the contest.

Hi Eileen!
That's a good looking photograph all the way around,my friend!
You've captured this duck in a distinctively unusual pose as it scratches away at lice and the vibration rings on the water's surface add an extra element of interest to the scene!
'Good Show',my friend!

A very nice looking blue winged teal drake. I like the concentric ripples on the water that come from his active preening. Excellent composition and beautiful colors. Good luck in the contest.

How lovely! What we can learn from the simplicity of nature.
I love the swirling circles of the water shot on what seems to be a lovely day of blue sky reflected in the water. You have captured this teal duck with great clarity and focus. Well done!

Lovely capture of this duck Eileen. I specially like your lighting. like he is in the spot light there in the water. Lovely colors and color harmony. Very good details with sharp focus.
Good visual and initial impact. Good center of interest. Very good techniques and technical excellence.
