Wellllllllll my dear Nicki ... this is a Very big duck ...and I would have to agree she is either to have babies or is obese - she sure looks contenet tho - lol!!
Excellent capture of her by You ..her feathers look soft and perfect clarity ... I really like the way you cropped and framed her especially - I know I am always saying this but I do notice it and I love your composition this way :)) 7+++++++++++++++++++++

A duck? Well yes why not, we often go looking to far while very photogenic opportunities are so close to home. Perhaps a bit sharper on the eye....or my eyesight goes down with my old age :)

You have a full of life portfolio, with unique captures and a wide variety of subjects.

Your images "betray" a very inquisitive mind and a keen interest to wildlife and not only. Portfolios like yours make us try to get close to the level we want ro reach and then just shift the level higher again.Nicki when you come to Artis,I will show you around....:) jouw friend uit Holland,kus

Hi, Nicole,fantastic. One of the your products with your new camera. I am sure you have a great "eye" for exceptional shots and for ducks. Patterns, colors and tone passages of the duck is very well defined. And one the your wonderful ducks.
Warm Hugs.

Wow, Nicole, this is fantastic... you truly seem to know what you're doing with that camera! And you certainly have a great "eye" for exceptional shots! I love the patterns created by the duck's feathers and the subtle orange/pink coloring in the breast area. The background is perfect also and his/her expression seems to suggest you may be an "animal whisperer". :) Very nice work! You do have a way with wildlife. ;) 7/7
