Nice flight pose with the duck cruising by just above the water. The speculum shows nicely, which is a nice touch. The light was difficult, with the underside of the subject difficult to get details out of and some blocked blacks too.

Very nice wing position and the purple looks great. Good incoming wing position as well.
I would clean up the specular highlights in the water .
Agree with Daniel re: light and blacks.

A fine looking flight pose. Terrific angle on the bird and love the wings. Needs just a touch of rotation.

Beautiful flight pose captured.Looks little dark on my monitor.Nice colors of speculum. I like the HA and eye contact.

Thanks for your comments much appreciated. The duck was chased by an Eygptian Goose with offspring on the pond and came with light behind giving
a difficult image to process.
