Lovely take off pose, with dangling feet, that famous long tail, exposure, and very interesting water details. The scattered oval light donut reflections are unique.
I might clean up the one streaked drop near bottom frame edge. The others closer to the body are fine.
Really nice flight position and lines to this, including the tail. Tough to expose these correctly and you did well but the neck and top of the head look a little hot and as if they were covered with white paint. I'm not sure if you can recover them a bit more.
You've captured an excellent pose, Karl. Great light, nice sharpness and love the blue bg. Neck looks a tad hot on my monitor too; I'd tone it down if possible.
Great flight shot, with good body and wing position. And the tail. Interesting water reflections, but I'd take out the one tiny bright spot at the bottom. Head/neck may be just a tad hot, or at least give that impression on my screen.
Long-tailed Duck.
