Absolutely superb in every way.
IQ, color palette (love the complimentary color of the BG), sharpness, incoming flight angle- all excellent.

Grace:
Lovely for the reasons Gail mentioned. Plus, the light angle has given it a nice sense of form. I might try a version with a tiny sliver more canvas below.

Beautiful, Grace. And it is artistically and technically excellent in every way.
This is a beauty, Grace. Sharply focused where it counts, great flight angle, complimentary background. No nits from me.
I like it. Good sharp and angle but also background is perfect ..Well done!
Beautiful work, Grace. Bird, pose, sharpness, BG....everything. I feel it needs a little room below. Well done.
Grace that is a really fine image I love the pose and the complimentary colours, that would make an excellent print.
Superb dynamic flight shot Grace - love the pose, incoming angle, and even the BG has a look of a panned shot. Really jumps out of the screen - excellent work.

Wonderful flight image, Grace. Great detail, wing position, and like drops of water near the tail. Beautiful complimentary BG.
Geoffrey
Excellent image Grace! I like the 3D effect, flight angle, IQ, wing position and curved tail. I could see a version with a little more room below but its a beauty as presented.
Yep 10/10 Grace. Its flying out the frame![]()

Beautiful image, Grace. Stunning, no nits from me. Thank you for sharing.

Wow Grace this is fantastic!! Love the colors and the flight direction. The wing position and the flowing tail really give this a delicate feel to it. The details look great and the head and eye are razor sharp. I would like to see the duck a bit higher in the frame but that's up to you. Very nice and I hope you are having a happy holiday season.

Thanks everyone. I do have this printed and hanging in my office, and as a few of you suggested, the print does have more room below. When I was looking at it again for posting here, I wondered if taking a bit off the bottom might give a more impact, but apparantly not. :) Thanks as always for looking and for sharing your thoughts.
