Resting Ring-neck

[Steve Maxson]

This image of a drake ring-necked duck was taken from a blind on a woodland pond. I like the subtle patterns in the rather high key water, but would like to hear what others think. 40D, 500 f/4 + 1.4X, 1/200, f/5.6. ISO 400. Comments are welcome.

Love the water. The pupil could use a bit of work. Bird on the right often works better with images like this (with the bird then looking back into the open space).

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the mood and details. I agree on the composition and it seems to need a bit CCW rotation.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Lovely pose and good exposure Steve. I agree about the cropping. Thanks for sharing.

[Maxis Gamez]

Very nice composition, details and light. I have to agree about the rotation.
