[Leica] IMG: Common Goldeneye

Don't think either is your best, the second is "easier" to interpret and I 
like the bow wave. The colour of the water is more attractive as well. The 
detail of the water on the feathers of the first one is great. Could you be 
too close? Either would be a fine addition to any "guide" book as there is 
such fine detail in the bird itself.

Cheers

The new year starts off with a quack (not really, this duck squeaks more 
than quacks):
