Here is another image from my Bosque trip this year. Had a lot of fun with he ducks coming in to feed. I am sure some won't like the grasses on the bill. but to me it tells the story of them feeding so chose not to clone it out.

Hi Kurt,
Very nice image. The head looks sharp and lots of feather details. I also like the spread feet and the graduated golden background. I don't mind the grasses on the bill.

Love this one Kurt. Sharp, great pose and BG. No nits here.

This one too could benefit form a slight exposure boost (but not by much), but man-o-man what a great incoming flight pose. The feet are awesome!!

I would play with the exposure and tones .... if this would be mine .
