The winner of this week's Reader SunShots series "Reflections" is John Maloney for his picture of a wood duck taken at the National Zoo in Washington DC. The photo was taken with a Sony A65 with a telephoto zoom lens. Here is a critique by director of photography Robert Hamilton: "The contrast in colors really made this picture pop and the reflections in the water were like no other picture in the contest. It seemed more like a painting than a photograph, a nice surprise."
