Geoffrey I likethe processing - excellent but there are two things that we cannot always control are head angle and height of camera in relation to the subject, had they been optimal it would have been a real cracker of a shot.
I have never seen a harlequin in real life so whenever I see an image of this duck I get a good feeling.
IQ and colors are lovely.I like that big water droplet by the tail.
Yes to a head turn our way but not a deal breaker.
i enjoyed looking at this image Geoffrey,

Wonderful exposure and thus wonderful feather detail throughout. Well done but for the fact that when the bird is angled toward us the head needs at least to be on straight (relative to the angle of the body). Folks heading to Barnegat Jetty for the first time might wish to check out the Site Guide that I did with Denise P. Ippolito few years back. Find it here.
