    A lovely shot, Mike. Great POV, nice light and just the right head turn. A little tight in the frame for my taste but I know you prefer them that way.

    Cheers for that Bill, its not so much that I like them tight, but I'm not a big fan of pano crops, and I find with ducks etc on the water going loose means loads of negative space. I'd really like a compromise, but I'm not sure physics agree!

    Gorgeous shot Mike. I love it. I would retouch the fluff on the bill, that's all. Not sure if it is necessary or not, it's a personal choice.
    TFS!

    Beautiful light, shooting angle and details. I am fine with the crop as we get a really intimate looks at this stunner. Only thing I would do is clone out the dark area at the top lift of the frame as it pulls my eye from the beautiful goldeneye.

    Wow! talk about great eye contact!! That big golden eye is mesmerizing. Love the low POV and the lighting. Details and colors look sweet too. Well done Mike
