Hi

here's one of them

"Decent" really doesn't describe this image. I am on the edge about clipping a little more off the front, but I don't know. That said, this is simply gorgeous. The plus is the very visible 'ring-neck'. The lighting and water are perfect. Well done.

This is very nice. No nits for me. The watery blues around the duck are awesome.

Hi Jan It is a gorgeous image Would suggest selecting the eye and going over the pupil These ducks need the little bit of help so it appears sharp Nothing else you can do about it They just come out like that !!! Love this image !!! Big Congrats !!!

[Leroy Laverman]

Wow! Beautiful shot in all respects.

[Cindy Cone]

Decent? Yes I would say this is decent!!!

[Dave Phillips]

yep, it's decent alright
Nice irridesence in the head is "decent" and the little detail in the gray part of the bill is a "decent" element6

Beautiful image! Great details in the blacks and great color. I also like the low angle.

If this is only decent I can't wait to see one of your top shots of this bird (think we just did).
This is a wonderful image on all counts.

Rock n' roll, Jan. Wonderful work. Excellent detail, low perspective, background and composition.

Very nice image. Love the texture of the water surface and the nice details.
