Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn
A very lovely and sweet visual presented here of this wood duck. Love the expression on its face. Composition, shades, tones, colors, and background highlight your subject in a very pleasing way. Well done.

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that beautiful female mallard duck. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely taken!

Hi Michelle , this is a lovely female mallard and you have photographed her so very well!
Spot on focus, this image is sharp and clear and your exposure is perfect. Colors and tones appear natural.
Well defined detail in feathers, face and bill , I appreciate that clear eye.
Well composed in the square format offering such a nice close look at this beautiful mallard.
Well presented! I wish I had a six to award, I'm sorry I don't have one!
