I was out at a bird sanctuary yesterday, just before it began to pour, and got this shot of a duck. Actually, I have a few more shots of ducks, but since this is the Critique forum, just one at a time. Tell me what you think.View attachment 3816
Jack, I'm going to use a phrase borrowed from someone here, I don't remember who.
Seeing this photo gave me a laugh, it's the first thing that popped in my mind and had to share.
"Looks like you shot the Southbound end of a Northbound Duck".
Don't feel bad, I happens to me all the time.
I like the waves, they are so sharp. I find the crop a little tight. Good capture.
LOL, yeah I had the same thought when I shot this one, Rick. I was in an awkward position when I took this shot. I wish they had been facing me, but...........I take what I can get.
Jack, take some food with you next time, bribery can work wonders!
Love the ripples and the feather details.

I thought the same thing, but Rick put it better: if only that other duck had looked your way . . .sigh
But it's still a good shot ..sharp detail and beautiful water. . . did you use a polarizer?

A recipe for Wild Duck just might come in handy too!
Here ya go, Ken........just for you.Outstanding detail! I would crop out the drake and settle for a smaller picture of just the hen.
Nice, Jack. Great shot! I like this one a lot.
Thanks Jack -- nice shot.
I used to have ducks like these . . . until they became coyote food . . . sigh
Nice shot.
