John:

Excellent shooting angle, bird in frame, exposure, velvety soft water. You obviously had a lot of light and a clean background, I might have been tempted to go to a bit smaller aperture for more DOF.

Cheers

Wonderful low POV, and agree with Randy on great angle, John. Like that we can see feathers through the bow wake. Nice iridescence caught.

Beautiful FG,BG and detailed subject. Sharp right where it needs to be. Love the loose feather. TFS

Very Nice Shot. I like the low angle.
You could dodge the white a little.
Everything looks really nice

Yet another beauty from the W-O-S. Great colors on the Scaup, and wonderful snorkel-depth POV. Did you get all of these images on a single day?

Did you get all of these images on a single day?

Yes. Most of these images are from the same day.
