Chatty Wood Duck...

From the Alb Zoo in Nov...
I normally stick with 4:3 comps, but this seemed to work better with a square'ish presentation.
What do you think?

Very nice bird, with excellent exposure. Very sharp. I like the comp as is, but suspect some woud prefer a little more in front of the bird. That red eye is striking.

Lovely water and great sharpness. There might be a little more detail in the blacks that you can bring out. I don't mind the square crop, although I would prefer a little more room behind the head. I would consider including more of the water too because it's so pretty.
