I like how you have framed this one, Stuart...it really shows off the feathers very well. Top wing looks sharp, but the head looks a little soft to me.
Wonderful dorsal view, and nice comp. I wonder if it's possible to tweak just a little more detail with selective USM and/or Nik DE?
Cool shot and nice pose too. I like the color of these ducks. Looks like critical focus fell on the near wing as the head is a bit soft. Try selectively sharpening the head only, I think it will help.
Keep shooting, another nice flight frame.
Lovely! Might you want to open the neck just a smidgen?
Cheers, Jay

Nice banking pose and exposure. Would sharpen the head more and agree with Jay about opening up the shadows a bit. Well done.
What a gorgeous pose, caught in flight with wonderful sharpness and detail! If there are any nits about sharpness, I'm too blown away by first impressions to notice them!
Cool pose and with good details Stu! I would suggest to boost exposure a tad as it looks a bit dark in my monitor.
i like it the way presented, great looking details
