Lovely image Denise. Wish you could have been down at his level. Don't you just love the 100-400MM ??):

Cheers,

Hi Denise,
I like the capture, and the reflection. the duck is sharp with good eye contact, and placed just right in frame... it looks a little on the hot side around the head and cheek area, also on your next one, try to catch him at a much lower angle...good show...:cool:

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Hey D. Like your composition and eye contact. A plus would have been at a lower level but we take what we can when we can.
Regards,

[Lance Peters]

Hi Denise - lovely colours and detail - agree on the lower angle :)

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Love the colours Denise, just a lower angle would have been great but not always possible.

[Alfred Forns]

Agree with previous and can add sure got the right sun angle to light up the duck !!! Not an easy one to photograph !!!

[Harold Davis]

what a beauty denise!!! love the reflection and the light is really nice! great job!

have a happy thanksgiving!!!
