Love the pose, well captured.

Vanessa:

Excellent control of your whites, striking pose. Because of the vertical orientation of the head, could see several other options for cropping, with a bit more room on top, less on right side. Some folks don't like more squarish crops, which is fine, but it is fun to experiment.

Cheers

Love the pose and the droplets of water, think I would like to see it with bit more at the top but it's very nice as posted.

Lovely image Vanessa, I especially like the low POV.

[Marina Scarr]

Killer duck, pose, light, FG & BG. Great control of exposure. I agree with Randy on some more room above and maybe a tad off of the bottom.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the exposure, sharpness, low angle, BG and the pose is great. I would go with a squarish composition as per Randy's suggestion. A real beauty Vanessa!

Nice to see some more estrogen on this forum!!
Lovely image.
Great low POV, excellent exposure, nice light, great BG.
I agree with Randy and Marina's suggestion re: composition.

Excellent behaviour captured here - a female must not have been too far away!. Well exposed, sharp as posted, and great colours. Comp suggestion would be a nice tweak to try, and to my eye the contrast seems a tad strong here. Nicely done overall.

[Jim Neiger]

Great pose (really makes the image a stunner), light, low angle, exposure, and details. Well done!

[David Salem]

Wow! Love it!

[MiroslavMaric]

Great pose and composition. Good light and great details. TFS.

Cheers,

Stunning photo; nice light and beautiful buttery smooth bokeh. Just wondering how much cropping and any noise reduction applied. I am impressed how well the 600 f4 II takes the 2TCIII.
