This is the same duck as my previous image. I know the duck has flown past, but I quite like the 'look back' he gave me here.

I also like the look back the bird gave you, background is nice as well. I wish the bird was a tad lower in the frame, still a nice image.

[gail bisson]

Yes, the look back saved this image!
Nice BG but agree with John that re:being lower in the frame.
I would smooth out the whitish circle around the head.

[Alex Becker]

Agree with both John and Gail so far. Being picky here I wish for a better wing position -- either fully down or fully up. Whites look a tad hot on the shoulder. TFS

[Arthur Morris]

Wing position and look-back head turn look fine to me as does the exposure. The head feathers just above the base of the bill are a bit of a mess. Bad luck with that.

with love, artie

[Isaac Grant]

Agree with what has been already said. Looks to me like you have some banding throughout the background.

I like it very much Will,lovely colours in the bg and the Duck looks very neat,I take the point of the nits raised above but overall it does not distract a lot from the image to my eyes.Nice Job.

Keith.
