You did well to get it in the frame being so close. A bit tight on the top. Beautiful bird.

[John Mack]

You have a good spot for these guys. The pose is pretty neat. Must have been close to these fella.

Terrific flight capture Dan, i like the wing position and especially the HA. I would suggest another round of sharpening, critically the head...

[Paul Burdett]

Dan. A terrific shot! A closeup of a duck is still on my bucket list...they never seem to get close enough for me. Great FFD, HA, colours and BG. It's sharp enough for me. TFS

[Jonathan Ashton]

Very nice indeed, good action stopping shutter speed, the colours look very good, great shot.
The only suggestion I have to offer is possibly the bill is a little bright, I don't know if you make it a little less bright using luminosity or perhaps blending.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Wow, what a beautiful frame. I agree with all the positives above. Could perhaps do with a bit more space at the top?
