Thanks for looking:)

Great detail and exposure. Would like to see a little more head turn, this also might have eliminated the shadow in the eye. Fish is a huge plus. Nice find

[Juan Aragonés]

Composition and soft light works fine for me. The prey in the beak is a big bonus and the eye is fantastic. The head turn is almost perfect. Very good sharpness Nicolas

The fish in the beak is a nice bonus! Wish for a better head turn and side profile vs the bird swimming away from you.

I like the composition with the placement of the duck and the detail around the eye along with the fish food as the primary focus. The colors are very pleasing with their softness along with the pastel color of the water. Well done.
