    Nice pose & focus, terry! I might bring the highlights back just a touch for the sake of the white feathers on the furtherst wing, but beautiful regardless!

    Must be a cross with a common farm duck. Very unique looking for sure.

    Nicely titled Terry. That's about as far out of the water as you'll see them stretch, so great job on the timing.

    I'd say that light was a bit harsh, creating some unwanted shadows. Well handled in terms of exposure.

    Thank you all for your comments.

    Tobie, on my monitor the right wing exposure is correct as it is not washed out. However, maybe my monitor is incorrect??

    Thanks again guys...Terry

    I wouldn't bargain on that, Terry - it might be mine too (or simply perception on my side). I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you get another reply along the same lines as mine! The exposure does actually look fine from my home laptop (my work laptop monitor is a little brighter and I can never decide which is 'better').
