Missile is up in the air. Absolutely superb exposures in whites and blacks. Great IQ. Wonderful colors in the frame.
Love the wing positions,pink bill, long straight tail, beautiful HA, dual tone BG and as usual excellent composition.

Satish.

Hi Grace, tack sharp, and well done on the overall exposure too. Good flight pose with the down stroke of the wings, and the placement is fine, as the long tail does 'push' the Long Tailed Duck into a central comp. Love the blues of the BG. Well captured.

Excellent flight pose. A tighter crop for me.

Wonderful shot, Grace. Love the open beak, the long tail, the BG, and a unique flight angle. Great exposure. I like it as presented, but if this is "just a bit of a trim", you might experiment with a little more crop.

Top notch image in every respect. I can understand how tricky it must have been to choose the best of the burst. This is truly a delightful pose and image.

Thank you kindly for all your looks and especially the comments. I started with 18 megapixels and cropped to 17 so I certainly have more to play with and will consider an additional presentation with a tighter crop.

Absolutely love the feel of this image, Grace, and brilliant techs. Has a happy duck on top of the world feel to it :)

Yes, the open bill gives it a feeling of joyful flight, to me. Love the details but would also like to see a little tighter crop.

Wow Grace! This looks awesome. One of the best LTDs I have seen posted. This has a great pose with the bill open and I really like the wing position without any shadows, perfect angle to the sun. The two tone BG and the perfect look at his signature long tail makes for a sweet frame. You must have smiled when you saw this in the LCD. Well dne

Thanks to everyone who looked at my image. I've given some thought to cropping in tighter and I just can't see it here. Personal taste, but I feel as if I need room to have him fly into and not crash into the side of the frame. Plus leaving room for the tail just doesn't lead to a balanced comp in my eye. I'll put this one aside for a while and look at it again in the future with a fresh eye.
