Wow,this duck really pops against that solid black background,what a great entry for the contest! That orange beak and glimpse of an orange leg really add to the eye appeal of this image.Very nice reflection,too! Wish you the best in the contest! :) LeeAnn

It looks like a domestic duck to me. A fine shot with good exposure for the white plumage and a great bit of a reflection on the dark water. Best wishes in the contest.

A pretty good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and almost central composition allows us a very enjoyable look at your lovely duck. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done and good luck!

This is a fine shot of the duckling. The dark background makes the white bird pop out. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck!

A beautiful picture of this white Drake with a bright orange beak it's reflection on the dark lake water broken by ripples it's swimming creates. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & razor sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.
