    1 Eyed Duck Stare

    This duck must have felt very secure. He never moved while I was shooting, just stared at me.

    I agree with the other people It is a great shot, although there might be a halo around his head a little bit, but that might be the water or the lighting or something. Either way, its not horrible detracting from the pic.

    Love the shot! Beautiful colors and textures! I think it would be cool to see it cropped in the middle of his body from the bottom and side, because we all know that it's a duck, and that would put move emphasis on his one eye. Just a thought though.

    I also see some halo around the head, looks maybe slightly oversharpened. I think the color saturation is way too high, especially on the rock and the orange feet. Everyone else likes the color, maybe its just my taste.
