Fantastic feather detail and sharpness, and perfect light angle! Love the hint of ripples in the background. Well done on this one Arash

Arash, about as nice an example of a Cinny drake as there is.
You captured the whole gamut of colors on this beauty with an almost perfect wings down stroke. Great lighting and I really like him against blue.
If you like, remove the lower second catchlight and I think it's a subtle improvement where one probably couldn't find many.
Well done sir.

Awesome. Parallel to sensor and perfect light are a winning combination. I can't believe what happening in CA. I'm there for 6 winters with very little rain, and all **** breaks loose while I'm traveling for the winter of 22-23.
We need the rain but this is ridiculous! Stay safe....
