"Quick, take your picture, they won't be orange for long..."
This is my first submission to DPChallenge. I have been lurking for quite some time and thoroughly enjoy all of the excellent photos and commentary.
I completely adhered to the basic editing rules by slightly cropping, adjusting levels and sharpening the image. If I could do more, I would remove the algae from his/her face.
Thank you for your comments.

I don't know what it is about ducks that make them look overly sharpened... I think it may be the waxy feathers. I have tried shooting mallards and they never quite look right. Good shot here. The background ain't the most attractive, but it works!

What a fat duck! I like the in your face, head on, centered presentation. It really emphasizes the fatness of the duck. Orange color may not dominate the picture, but it certainly is a player. A ten for me.
I love this picture - I guess the white duck isn't going to stay very white in all that mud!!!! Captured beautifully - even down to the water droplets on the tummy!
Very nice, well taken picture. I like the way you've met the challenge of orange being the primary color in the shot - the ducks beak and feet are orange and it is the only color besides white and grey!
