sweet light and calm water is really nice Tim! love the wing position too. I am wondering what it would look like if you just leave the bird in and crop out the reflection. I like this one too, but may lean over that version because I think will show more details

Thanks Arash, that would be a fairly large crop even though the image is sharp I'll have to check the archives for a closer one.

Top notch pose and though the reflection isn't crisp I find it artistic, like a painting. Nice composition too. Good work.

Hi Tim, excellent flight pose with the full downstroke of the wings, and lots of colours to look at. The trailing droplets add interest too. Its always good to capture a reflection.

Terrific capture, Tim. Great wing position. I had the same thought as Arash -- the reflection adds interest, but it might be a lovely shot without it since the reflection is less than mirror-like. But there are some signs of a large crop, so maybe just be thrilled with the OP and call it a day?

Very nice shot, Tim. I like the composition as is. The sharpness on the bird is addictive.

I had the exact same thought as Arash did as soon as I looked at this beautiful flight frame. The reflection isn't great so I figured why not crop the reflection out for a 2x3 landscape. Then I looked at the details which look pretty darn good but it might not hold up to heavier cropping so I am with you on the comp. If it would have been a perfect reflection, this would have been way over the top. I guess you will have to settle for just over the top! Well done and love the perfect light angle and fully lit speculums.

Terrific flight pose, super light and great details on this hard to photograph duck. Since the reflection is murky I would prefer losing it but understand the image can't handle the crop.

Great flight frame that really shows off the color of a Green-winged Teal.
