Hi David, I like the pose and BG. The image quality here appears a bit suspect, with not tons of details on the head and overall looking a bit flat. Since it was a small crop might just be something in the workflow with NR? TFS

[John Mack]

The pose is nice and the background as well. The color looks off to me.

Hi David. I have the same camera/lens combo, but yet to get a closeup like this. Well done. The colours look fine to me...similar to the Mallards we get here in Brisbane. I agree that the IQ is not as good as it could be on the head area.

This looks quite fine to me on all counts. I wish only that the near-wing was fully raised.

with love, artie
