Hi KK
Good capture and nice sharpness on the eyes. Love the BG, and possition on the wings. Might seem to thight framed in front of the Shoeveler. It makes it stop in the air.
But really nice shot :)

Lovely light and look back, KK :)

Great capture with excellent color and detail. I would prefer just a little more room around the subject. Thanks for sharing.

Killer exposure and detail KK! If I could find a nit ,the only thing would be a bit more room all around .Great shot

Beautiful light on this sharp image, KK! I like the look and the slight blur at the wingtips.

This is one of the most realistic images of a duck in flight that I've seen you post. I truly believe that if I reach out and touch it, I will feel the feathers.
