Gadwall.

[Karl Egressy]

We had one good day with low wind and nice light, so I rushed to Toronto to do some duck shooting.
Thanks for looking.

Good clarity. Good compo.

[Enrique Patino]

Clear, detailed and beautiful. Maybe a slight CCW rotation (1 degree or so)?? TFS

[Grace Scalzo]

A fine looking gadwall, well photographed in beautiful water. Agree on the rotation.

[Bill Dix]

Sweet. Gadwalls are lovely birds, and you caught this one with fine detail and a beautiful complimentary BG. Rotation looks good to me based on the reflection. Well done.

[Arthur Morris]

Beautiful bird, light, and BKGR. Good eye by Enrique on the need for a bit of CCW rotation. Sharp with a perfect head angle and EXP.

[John Robinson]

Superb light and everything. Agree slight rotation but no big deal. Lovely shot.

Karl it looks very good to me excellent detail and exposure with little drops of water on the head.

Karl:

I like the subtle, two tone head, shooting angle, colors.

Just for personal taste, I might trim 15% off the top.

Cheers

The BG color is perfect with this duck. IQ is also first rate.

Hi Karl, and you made the most of your opportunity. Love the light, and the overall colours are awesome. I would just take a bit off the bottom - opposite to what Randy had in mind.

[nick clayton]

Beautiful light with nice subtle colours Karl. Good frame position and head angle too.

[David Salem]

Beautiful Karl. Had to comment again:)
