Great low angle shot,great sharp detail on the Duck, that multi coloured BG really makes it for me, joy to view.

This is terrific Dan.
It ticks all the boxes- beautiful light, great IQ, lovely subject, nice mottled BG.
I particularly like the way you have shown the subtle iridescence of the dorsal feathers.

Sweet. I love everything about this, Dan. Gorgeous BG, great techs, and especially the coloration on the duck that so nicely echoes the BG.

She's gorgeous, Dan. Like the low angle giving her great separation from BG. Completely beautiful IQ.

Hi Dan, you are turning these out so well, and I really like the light and colours in this. Great low perspective, and love the slight bow wave. Well captured.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Exquisite light, fg/bg/bird colors and a perfect shooting angle. Very well done. I'd move the bird just a bit more to the right in the frame. One of the best female woodduck images I've seen posted.
