    Jon:

    Nice dorsal view, rich colors, soft background. The bird is angling away from us a bit, but the head is back our way some, which helps mitigate that.

    Well exposed with good details in. the blacks.

    Cheers

    Stunner!!
    This is close to perfection. A slightly raised far-wing and a few seconds earlier to get the bird before it had passed you would have been the dream.
    Still, you got a beautiful background and the display of that wing pattern on the near wing is amazing. Nice exposure, details and comp. Some slight noise still present on the bird that should be an easy fix.

    Neat looking duck. Like the curled up wing tip here. Background is solid as well. Just a fraction away from being great. Still nice tough.
