Beautyful capture Heather. Agree with Debra about the unique look of the bird. The overall shot is very luminous and I love the way the duck look at me.

I love the Northern Shovelers they are very unique and cute looking. You have captured a great shot here Heather. The reflection, wave action and water colour are very pretty. Terrific shot.
