We have a few nesting GWT's around here right now. Some good opportunities for flight photos. I think these guys are gorgeous little Ducks.

Beautiful. I like everything about it.

[Doug Brown]

I agree. They are beautiful. And you've done their beauty justice with this photo Jody. Love the sharpness, exposure, and wing position, which really shows off the green wings. I would remove the tan stuff at the bottom of the frame and the white spot up top.

Man, this is sweet, love the topside and the details.....:cool:

[Alfred Forns]

Just perfect Jody !!! Best side of the duck !!!

Could clone the light areas close to top and bottom borders they tend to grab my eye !!! Big Time Congrats on this one !!!!

[Mike Lentz]

So is this going to be the next cover of Ducks Unlimited? I think these ducks are beautiful and the BG compliments the duck nicely. I'd consider cloning out the bright area's on the bottom of the image.

Sweet shot Jody. Don't you have one of these as a pet? LOL

Hi Jody!

Eye candy! The green is emphasized so nicely, and oh so sharp & detailed! Nothing to add for improvement.

[Stephen Stephen]

Love this one Jody. The greenwings are really cure little ducks. I haven't but out much lately but I'm finding my BushHawk a great addition to my gear. Thanks for the advice.

Too good. Was it with the 400 5.6?
