Jay - I really like the composition..it feel like the subject has the perfect amount of room all around and just the right amount of space to "fly into" on the left. The down wing position is great.

Nice flight shot of this mallard drake. Good wing position and nice detail. Like all the green in the background.

[Dorian Anderson]

Yes, composition is perfect and bird is wonderfully engaged with you. a Very nice result given the light and background.

Nice Image. I like the composition as well.

You can try to remove the second catch light in the eye.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for comments and suggestions.

The framing and the position of the bird is good and almost acts as a contour for the greenery behind. The focus is a tad forward from perfect - given the conditions and settings you could have moved to f8 or a bit lower? But to be honest that is a minor point on a very good picture.
