So beautiful! A very well captured image of this colorful male mandarin duck and his reflection. The abstract color and designs of the water make him appear to be swimming thru liquid glass. A wonderful choice for the contest,wish you all the best!

So, this is not the decoy, it is real? I have never seen a beautiful mallard in my neck of the woods. He is quite handsome. I like the reflection in the disturbed water. It shows up quite well where you want it to be. Good job.

    I have never seen a duck like this where we live. That may be why. We don't live in the right place for this duck.

Perfectly composed image of the Mandarin Duck as he peers at his reflection. The colors of the duck are excellent and the background water adds to overall impact.

This is as crisp a focus and refection as I have seen in a long time. The lighting, the colors and crop is prefect. The ripples add movement to the scene. The reflection has a bit of a wrinkle which adds interest to the scene. The mandarin duck's colors are stunning.

A beautiful duck that is only seen in captivity around here. This drake has fantastic colors. I like this composition with the duck checking out his reflection.

I think I would travel to your country just to see this duck! The colors and patterns are almost not to be believed---but I trust you! The reflection is pure bonus.

Usually when I look in the mirror I just groan..lol. cool colorful capture. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The angle of the shot of this colorful duck and water reflection is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

What a colourful fella. He looks like a painted wooden duck children play with. A colourfil shot! Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Thanks for sharing!
