Thanks Arash...I did consider whether the contrast was a bit much too.

Artie would call this a soup duck :) looks pretty good, if mine I'd tone down the highlights a tad. TFS

Superb Arash! Plenty of them here in one of my local lakes...but, never seen one in flight. BG kills. TFS

Not much not to like here Brian. Simply stunning! Congrats:cheers:

thank you all, believe it or not this is close to a full frame shot with no room below

Andreas, processed beautifully as is customary for you. Nicely done there. Might have been a little more dramatic going into the light perhaps? As...

Joe, the subdued palette could really make an impactful image here with the pink pop and the disappearing water. The subtle rain droplets on the...

Jim, is there a more handsome Drake? Debatable but I'd put this guy high up there. Looks exposed nicely. Appears there might be some nice details...

looks good from here needs a bit taming the facial highlights and NR on the tail, I wish the RTH was lower in the frame and eye level with you TFS...

love the light and the pose, I've got to agree head isn't sharp, sharpening didn't help but made it coarse and crunchy so it must be the RAW...bummer...

I like the head shot, wish you were lower, head looks a bit soft to me TFS

I like the intense stare, 3D eye, water color, sharpness and composition. Nice image David.

I like the sharpness, details, exposure and wing position. The water below the duck is great and I wouldn't hesitate to show more of it. Excellent as...

I like the composition, colorful subject and the second image looks sharper to me as well. I would love to get this close to this bird! Nice image...

Nice you got all your dogs in a row so to say. Framing and detail and everything else looks bang on.

Bowling pin pose is interesting and the water color compliments the duck well. I have never seen one of these ducks in real life, TFS.

I like how the hawk fills the frame, fanned tail, BG and sharpness. I too would take some brightness out of the eye. Nice image Dan.

I like the pose, light, composition and repost is an improvement. I never used Topaz Sharpen AI but perhaps it would be something to consider using....

I like the details, composition and that feather on the head tops it off! Well done as usual Dan.

I like the sharpness, exposure, details and BG compliments the eye perfectly. The nesting material makes the image interesting. The red one looks...

I like the sharpness, details and you handled the exposure really well. I wish the blue wasn't in the BG but you take them where they are. I guess...

No! it does work on the raw file and I mean raw not TIFF and not DNG. I have used ACR for sharpening and NR - it gives good results but I think...

Really sorry to hear that Bill. He always had kind and sincere comments. My condolences to you and his family. Hope he got that owl on his outing!

I would do a vertical of the right bird if can...

The nesting stuff is nice, wing position a delete for me....
