    Wonderful capture. Too bad this lay dormant in your archives all this time.

    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 .

    Very nice work !!!

    TFS Andreas

    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!!

    Kurt, this is awesome my friend. The vertical angle and wing touch make this special.

    Nice and sharp, beautiful iridescence. A winner, great job!

    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.
