nice low angle, he could use a bit more sharpening and room on the back

Karl:

Subtle, harmonious colors, fine detail, nice bow wake.

I appreciate Arash's point about the sharpening, but it works for me as is, as the entire image is a bit low key.

I would consider cropping up to just above your sig.

Very nice indeed.

Really nice, I like the low angle POV and the bow wake. Details look very nice to me. I too see what Arash has said, but it doesn't bother me. I'd consider a little off the bottom and adding some to the top.

[Robert Kimbrell]

A pleasing frame Karl, I like the bow wake and natural water color and background. I don't mind the sharpening as is.

[David Salem]

Very nice Karl! I like the subtle colors and feather patterns of this beautiful mature drake. Besides a little off the bottom, everything else looks good to me. Well done

[Allen Sparks]

Hi Karl,
Beautiful subtle colors and I like the detail. Composition looks fine to me but agree with seeing what taking some off the bottom does.

A fine, serene look at this beautiful drake -- one of my favorites. Yes to some off the bottom.

[Satish Ranadive]

Excellent image with wonderful color scheme in the frame.
Love the feather details.
