    I really like the interaction and the hen's head angle really makes her look coy.
    Great low POV and worth the near dunk!!

    Fabulous low POV, beautiful BG. Love the proud pose of the drake; and the hen's head turn is part of the story.

    Hi Dan, your recent low angle captures are really producing great results. Love the soft light in this, and the male's pose is classic, showing off all his colours too. I feel the coy pose of the female works well with your title.

    The poses tell the story. Nice interaction shot, Bill.

    How very "coy" of her! Wonderful POV and interaction. Lovely BG and focus on the "soon to be loving" couple!
    The bright "royal blues" at the base of the tails look a bit unnatural to me tho. Blues along the "topside" seem fine.

    I like the low angle, exposure, interaction and BG. Comp wise I would add a little up top but that's personal preference. Very well done Dan!
