In your face with all those colors. Sharp right where it needs to be. Love the coming right at you pose and even like the OOF birds in the BG. A round of noise reduction just under the wings would take care of my only nit. TFS

I like the dynamic pose with the fanned tail. good details but it could use some NR visible grain) . the OOF mallards are a bit distracting

Ditto David's +ve comments, but a less distracting background would have made it a killer shot for me.

[Arthur Morris]

Killer sharp on the woodie. I like the4 Mallard pair but it would have been even stronger if the drake Mallard did not merge with the duck's right wing ...

with love, artie

wonderful sharp head shot Dan, maybe a tiny bit ccw rotation

[Daniel Cadieux]

Good job getting this drake head-on in flight. Good comp. The folded feet are neat! I see what appear to be processing marks to our right of the duck's tail?

Love the tack sharp duck but not a fan of the OOF ducks.
I too, noticed the odd cloning marks on the right of bird. Easy fix,
