Dan:
Excellent IQ on the head, very sharp, well exposed, good shooting angle, bad hairdo!
Just for personal taste, I would crop 20% of the free space off the top.
Cheers
Randy
What a cutie (even with the mullet)! Wonderful detail in the head and eye engagement, plus lovely water/background. Well done.
Gorgeous! I love the shallow DOF and the water is amazing. Agree with the suggested crop. I'd love to see a little more on the bottom, to include more of the reflection.
nice one,as said,great IQ on the head,pleasant light,like the green color,agree on a bit off the top.
Beautiful portrait, great details and eye contact.
Love the sense of forward motion on this one.
The IQ on the face is excellent. I will be the odd girl out and say that I like your comp as is.

I agree with the great IQ and wonderful green background. Feel this just needs a small bit of CW rotation but its just my opinion
The D800 is going further up my scale of things I need to buy ;)
Hi Dan, good low shooting angle, and you certainly nailed the detail on the head - excellent sharpness there too. With regards to the space on top, I too would take a bit off.
Gorgeous portrait of this duck, with a nice sense of motion in the sweet green water. The detail around the face and eye is excellent. Wish the duck had not been as close to you, as a bit more dof for the main body of the duck might have been nice. Dig the mullet!...
I like your comp as is, and just love the forward surge of the duck, the beautiful detail, and her awesome hairdo. Maybe she's in a rush to the hairdresser.
Love the detail in the face and the surge of water up the chest. And I wish I had enough hair for a bad hairdo like that ;)
lovely frame! the bird is really sharp in the right areas. Colors & POV are excellent.
just wish you had a bit more DOF.
Excellent low shooting angle,great details and BG.
Almost makes me glad I'm losing my hair these days LOL.
Stunning detail Dan, love the clear water bow wave, the eye is 100% sensational as is the overall exposure.....in a perfect world a little more dof would be nice, but at the same time as it is draws more attention to the head region with all that character.
