Excellent exposure and details. Love the bg color. Slight head tilt our way is excellent.
To my [tired] eyes, the whites appear to show a bit of blue/cyan.
Nicely done Glenn.

Well captured Glen. I like the wing down position as it shows the detail on top of the wing well.
I agree there may be a hint of blue in the whites.

Great shot, Glenn. Excellent detail throughout, especially on the head and that big honking bill.Was this taken at San Jacinto in Irvine?

This photo gives true meaning to the words 'picture perfect'. If one studies the feather colors & patterns, you can't but realise that this was designed and assembled by a magnificent Engineer!

Well done, Glenn! :5

nice pose and wing position, sharp and I also like the BG. I also see a subtle blue/green cast on my screen, warming up a tad should take care of it

Nice sharp flight shot, with good wing position. Color looks a bit off on my screen. I wonder if just a bit of orange photo filter, or some other means of warming him up, would help.

Beautiful flight shot of this handsome drake. Colors could go a bit warmer.

All looks good to my eyes and just love the multiple colored layers on the downward wing.
