Dan:

Excellent shooting angle, nice water colors,sharp with fine detail on the head, beautifully exposed. Composition works well also.

This is a great spot you, and you are taking great advantage of it.

Congrats.

nice soft light and detail, good eye contact.

[Robert Holguin]

Wonderful shot.
I really like the lighting, excellent pose, very nice details, and great comp.
I also very much like the wave it's creating.
Very well done.

Nice low shooting angle HA and eye contact, Dan. The green water compliment the green in the head.

Dan,

Really nice pose and you have perfect exposure.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Dan, looks like you were in the water for this - excellent perspective. Love the HA, together with the detail and colours on the head. I do like the bow wave.

[Satish Ranadive]

Fabulous image.Very nice composition.Wave in front of him gives nice feel of floating of bird.
Love the colors,details and beautiful blue-green water.Nice lights too.

Regards,
Satish.

Nice wigeon image, love the incoming swimming pose. Very sharp and great low angle. Seems a bit green or cyan overall to me, not by much, but enough to notice (for me anyhow).

[Melissa Groo]

Dan, the detail and exposure here are wonderful. Of course I am a fan of your low angle, and the water cresting at the breast which gives a nice sense of movement.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the HA, sharpness, exposure, pose and water colour compliments the AW well. Nice image Dan!

[PhilCook]

Light and eye contact is perfect, and loving that bow wave being created, sweet looking duck for sure
