Hi John, lovely eye level perspective, and well exposed on the darker plumage. I can see a hint of the iridescence on the side of the face. The eye pops nicely.

[Jonathan Ashton]

John, your duck shots are super, focus and details colours are excellent.

[Colin Driscoll]

A strong portrait, well exposed. The extra catchlight could be removed, in fact I wonder with that eye whether any catchlight is needed.

[Brian Sump]

They eye sucks you right in John. Man I love these close shots.

Sweet exposure and details galore. Slight bummer about the super oof chest but in a portrait like this, doesn't matter much to me.

Time to go get some corn..... :-)

Hi John , nice tight portrait
Processing looks very good with super controlled dark tones .
