Nice looking portrait. Well exposed, with beautiful water background. Good work getting an almost eye-level shot at the jetty; not an easy thing to do.

John:

Agree with Bill, very well nice control of the whites, the background is complimentary to the bird, sharp.

Cheers

Pretty Much Perfect, John. I love the framing, the light, the EXP and the BG. TFS

This is Nice! Great BG to go with the Duck.

Such a handsome Harlie John. Rich colors in the darks and mids and beautiful contrast.

No nags from me other than my envy meter is running high....

Man, this is gorgeous! Everything came together beautifully. I can't think of anything to improve on unless being picky: those three small dark dots on the lower bill could be removed for extra cleanliness. See! Picky!:t3

This is a 10/10 for me.
Love the crop, the exposure, the detail.
No nits from me! Well done!
