This Gadwall was about to take off hence the body language.
Thanks for looking and commenting.

Hi Karl, I like the setting, makes for a nice change. Although you were geared up for BIF I thing you could have easily gone to 800 and increased the DoF to say f/7.1, still retaining the SS.
Adding a slight midtone Curve and dropping the highlights brings back a lot more depth & detail, especially in the FG ice & water.

I did some changes' it might look better now.
Hi Karl, am away so the laptop is not ideal, but it does look better, anything more may be considered more 'personal' refinements. Being quite a bright day I would assume the blues to be more Cyan, but again, you could pull that back, however this would be a 'refinement'. WDYT, is it better, an improvement?
Nice alert pose by the Gadwall. Well done.. Did you capture the takeoff?
Super shot I like the pose and the ice - very impressive.
Thanks Robert. Yes, I did and posted it earlier right here, I believe.

I like the pose, sharpness, composition and icy setting. No ice on the lake or river down here yet but that will change in a week. Repost looks good Karl!
What a cute duck and I like the ice + water setting. OP looks better to my eyes Karl.
Hi Karl, love the jagged edge of ice, and the alert stance ready for take off. I prefer your OP.
Would you like to include this in the monthly theme, as you havent posted 'theme' before your title?
