Black-bellied Whistling Duck

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image a short while ago at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. These ducks while not native to the area have established a large population. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Joe:

Very nice light, well exposed.

The head seems a bit soft c/w the birds right wing. Possibly focus point there?

For personal taste, I would consider a crop from left and a bit from below.

Cheers

nice incoming pose, I wish the far wing had a better position, if it were up we could see the topside instead of the shaded underside. I'd move him to the left and place him a bit lower in the frame
