That's a seriously beautiful duck :) Love the low angle and the contrasty light.

the color rendition of this camera is second to none. The designers have created something wonderful.

I have to say, wood ducks are something to behold.
Never had the luck to see one myself though, what a pity.
Masterfully rendered by a specialist, congratulations and thanks for sharing.
