Third is the best! Too bad about the shadow on his head, though. Good detail on his face (ya know, those are called "caruncles"

), though his white feathers could use more detail. I'm not crazy about the sharpish line between green and blue at the top of the frame, but there's not much you can do about that now. His bean kind of blends with the background, too.

Second is ok, but the pond scum is ick. The light is awfully harsh as well. The shadow on the water in the background runs right into his head, too.

First would be better if you were more on his level. The dock and its shadow, and the sidewalk, do nothing for the photo. He is placed well within the frame though, I think.

So, pretty good job. Do you raise muscovies, or do they live wild where you live?
