Excellent head on shot, Dan. DOF is just right and the duck looks sharp and full of details.

[Arthur Morris]

Nice kid. Pretty stunning. Sharp with a great pose. You might opt to work on the whitish blob upper right.

My only wish is that the bird's right foot were hanging down like its left foot :).

[Doug Brown]

Nice incoming flight pose with great sharpness. The leading edge of the bird's right wing looks a little cooked. And the image has a bit of a yellow cast on my monitor.

[Nick Palmieri]

Nice flight pose captured. I also thought there was a bit of a cast and since Doug mentioned it I will second it.

[Sachin Saraf]

Nice incoming flight image Dan...since this is landing pose I would leave some more space at bottom..

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Sweet pose and excellent IQ. Love the light and the dangling foot. Love that tail.
Agree that more room below would help and that some whites need taming.

[arash_hazeghi]

very nice incoming pose and excellent sharpness, I see the yellow cast too

[Greg Oakley]

Great flight shot Dan,
Cheers, Greg

Wonderful flight image, the crispness is impressive and so is the exposure.
the wing position is nice, orange on the feet and the beak makes it stand out to me

[Uri First]

excellent capture very good eye contact and superb bc

[Steve Canuel]

Nice one Dan. I especially like how the top edges of the wing line up.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Great pose nice and sharp and I like the complimentary bg. I wish for just a little more of a heat turn away to show the full eye but then you would hve the head intersecting the wing so I am preferring this after all :)

[Satish Ranadive]

Love the pose,wing position,sharpness,lights and composition.
