Karl,

She sure is pretty. This is some great IQ with the 2x tele. Great detail, colors and comp. Wouldn't change a thing.

Hi Karl. Sweet image of this Gadwall hen. Terrific detail and IQ, lovely water colors and textures. No nits from me.

She sure is a stunner,Karl, so proud!! Love the light, colors and details.

Lovely image Karl and super impressed by the IQ. I should have used my 2x this morning instead of the 7D to get a little more pixels on the subject.

Gonna look out my 2x for tomorrow morning.

A bird full of subtle beauty and you brought that out well. Nice complimentary background color. If you have a bit more on the right hand side, I wouldn't mind seeing the tail a bit further from the edge of the frame, but not a big deal.

Looks like pretty lady has posed for you. Beautiful colors,lovely lights, water and composition.

Regards,

Karl certainly worth the discomfort ,the low angle really makes this image for me, agree with comments above. Very nice indeed.
