Hi Mike

Beautiful colors and exposure. You have cropped it to an excellent composition.

Very nice!
Beautiful colors. Love the crop as well.

great colors of the duck with a terrific background -- I might try to desaturated the beak just a bit as it looks a bit too shiny

Gorgeous Portrait! Excellent colors and detail Mike.

Excellent sharpness and nice whites. I might try to bring out a little more detail in the blacks. And I would add a sliver of canvas on the left.
