Excellent captures and nicely cropped. However, they may be softened a tad to much with your noise software as the drake looks almost painted in a few spots. The focus seems to be there, try letting some of the feather definition show with less noise reduction. We have thousands of Mallards in our area and I can't seem to get a good shot of any. Good job Liv2trip.
