    Excellent image Mike! I like the IQ, low angle, exposure, light, calm water, ice FG and sweet BG.

    Perfect contrast, and rich colours. Excellent low angle, and open bill pose is nice.

    A real gem, the angle and composition and the colours are all super, your early morning start was duly rewarded.

    Im laughing because I still have this vision of all these perfect models lined up on the runway ready to pose for you. Your shots are that good and consistent. Not sure if a Wood duck shot could get any better, if it dose, I havent seen it yet. Perfect!
