That's such a colorful duck Bobby, is it possible to you to get low and try to get them at eye level?

Thanks Amigo! I like to have the water background around them to give it a bit of an environmental look. But I may try shooting from the water's edge. It's that much harder to shoot at ground level, especially when you are shooting with a flash and flash extender like I did with these images, except for the last one - which is also close to eye level.

I even showed them to my wife.

All are dynamite. #4 is tops for me due to the water's appearance and how it frames the duck.
