Magnificent image ,Bill Sir.
Beautiful soft colors,nice details and high key effect caused by foggy morning light.
I like the panorama composition.

Good looking individual. Sharp, well exposed, and nice colours (Although you could punch those up a tad).

Sweet little duck. I enjoy the plumage displayed here too. I think I remember you are a fan of this aspect ratio for side profiles on waterfowl....with a small duck like this I enjoy a more traditional 2:3 aspect ratio for comp. I think this aspect ratio works best with longer bodied waterfowl like mergansers....Tastefully sharpened. Nice work with the higher key exposure.

Hi Bill, excellent low shooting angle and I like the high key here - the colours pop nicely. Maybe add a touch more contrast.

A real beauty Bill! I like the tranquil feel, composition, exposure, sharpness and high key.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate the comments. I did punch the color and saturation from the original RAW file -- the fog left it very dull. But I probably could have gone further. And Shawn, your point is well taken. For this little duck, some more room at the top to change the proportion would be a good idea. I'm having some computer problems at the moment but will make both adjustments when I can. Thanks for the suggestions.
