I took this in New Orleans, Audubon park in February. There were at least 1000 of them there, great birding place.

Lovely portrait Ilija! Sharpness and comp are spot on!
I love these types of vertical waterfowl portraits. Nicely done, and the "slate" background is quite nice with the duck's colours.
I like these portraits as well. Details look good and I really like the background as well. I would add a little more sharpening to the face and warm the bird up a tiny bit.
I really like that BG colour. Nice HA, pose, and colours on the bird.

Agree with Isaac that the image could be sharpened and warmed. But the colors and the clean BG really work here.
Thank you for the comments! I really appreciate them.
Sweet on all counts. Love that BKGR!
