Hi Kurt ... stunning capture !!!
Besides my personal pref that the darks and the mid tones are a bit strong ... I really like it a lot !!!
Cool pose and great to have the duck that low above the water level .
I love the low angle and full downward wingstroke! Nice colours. The larger dark blob near your signature does draw my eye there so perhaps toing that down. But man, such a dynamic image!!
Ditto everything above, especially the positives. I love the wings right above the water. In a perfect world, the bird's head would be angled slightly toward us rather than slightly away.
with love, artie
