    Neat image water is cool,not sure about the exposure looks a little hot especially on the side, breast and head. On the side of the face it almost looks over sharpened but may be the exposure giving that look. Duck weed is neat TFS

    Good overall with excellent details. Low angle that you know I love. Just a bit large in the frame which makes for a tight comp IMO.

    Dan, gorgeous.

    Super sharp (and not overdone from my view for whatever that's worth) and exposed beautifully.

    What put it over the top for me is the glassy appeal in the eye with a fantastic catchlight as well as the, what's it called... duck moss? on the bill. +2 on that for sure.

    The artistic wake lines with the teal water are sweet. And the overall texture is awesome.

    RE the back end - I'd never heart Artie say that. But for me, kind of irrelevant save the fact that that more in the rear helps the balance of the image. That would potentially apply here. But hard to complain on this one...
