I think #2 is the best one here. Nice and sharp with good focus and catch light :thumb

Here are some tips for next time:

1. Get as low as possible to the ground

2. Shoot early or late to avoid the harsh light

3. Compose so that the duck is swimming into an open space in the frame (rule of thirds)

4. Focus on the eyes

Thanks Danny for all of your advice....I was somewhat limited to what I could do at this particular location, but I totally agree with the suggestions you made, so thanks again!
