Gail,
Beautiful. From the eye to the water droplets to the long tail and the bg & water that almost stands on its own... masterful.
Cheers,

Great looking duck IF image Gail. The front facing wing position with the sweet HA and the shadow on the far wing look fantastic. The quality of the light and the angle of it are beautiful. Nice BG too.
With he head so sharp, I would be tempted to crop a bit tighter, it makes for a more intimate look at this guy, but you know me :) Well done Gail
Beautiful flight shot, Gail! Love the wing position, light, POV and dual color background! Well done!
Nice! I love how the blurred wings accentuate the focussed face. Great shot!
Magnificent flight shot. Love the HA, belly covered with water droplets, curved long tail, beautiful lights, colors and BG.
Regards,
Satish.
Well done Gail, lovely capture Position of the bird and HA perfect :S3:
Splendid capture Gail. Everything in harmony, faultless composition (wish I had your eye), great work! Regards, Ian.
Gail the duck sits well on that dramatic backdrop, water droplets falling from the bird add even more interest, super piece of work.
Cheers Keith.
Always exciting when the image achieves perfection right out of the camera! Strong work Gail!
Totally awesome. Love the way the duck's body is slightly angled towards us...arctic light to die for! Nicely sharpened and composed.
A technically and artistically superb image in my opinion. The light is to die for as is the angle of flight.
Great light and angle of flight, with great finishing touches like the trailing water droplets
From the thumbnail I was sure I was going to suggest cropping from the top...but I like it as is. Well balanced comp, beautifully lit scene. Great pose too.
Hi Gail, exquisite light, and just love the angled flight pose. The duck pops so well from the BG, and I do like the droplets. Another tack sharp image from you. Very well captured.
Hi Gail,
Great light & flight pose.Well balanced comp.
