Wonderful colors, whites might be a bit on the hot side but this is really the kind of bird where this must be forgiven. I like your low angle here...

Great light on him especially as its so bright you've still managed to get him sharp and exposed correctly! Lovely colours!

Lovely work. It looks a little like our blue billed duck.

Great shot. I always have trouble getting the exposure right with its white and black head. Very nicely shot.
