Ducks, water, and brush are always in place. I sure hope you are better with a shotgun than a camera.

I think this image may have been oversharpened. It seems like you have some haloing around the branches. It is a good idea but not the most powerful image for me. Maybe if there were less branches and if the duck was in the crosshairs of a deer rifle sight?

Needs some focus my friend. How about next time working for a bit more dof in your shot. Out of place? I don't see it. Sorry.

the branches are out of focus and distracting.
