    Mike:

    Another very nice duck. Nice balance between whites and darker ares, good iridescence and shooting angle. I would prefer a bit more room around the bird.

    Cheers

    Another lovely shot. I wish to see it bigger. Composition is tight; it would make a stronger image if you have some more space around it. Well done, Mike.

    Mike,

    I absolutely love the color and the cleanliness of the bg. I do wish for a tad more room behind the bird, just a tad.

    Nice head angle and great exposure. I would also take a look at cleaning up the second catch light (keeping only the one on top).

    Miguel

    Beautiful one here Mike.

    I would prefer a little more canvas to the right...towards the movement of the subject...unless the bird was still.

    Wowie! Excellent photo of this species. Techs are perfect, low angle is top-notch. Colours well presented. I only would have preferred a bit more room right and top. Overall superb...

    Another beautiful shot Mike. Are you a duck fashion photographer? They seem to be going up and down the runway in front of you. Seriously, You are getting some killer shots from your setup and location. Well done, again.
