Very nice Kurt .....Exposure looks good, as does the colours throughout......Good feather detail, and POV. Maybe lift the blacks a wee bit.

Super engaging view of this handsome bird, Kurt. Colors look great, and the calling pose is tons of fun. I head Will's comment about lifting the black as
the shadows on the back look a bit heavy. I'd also clone the the lower catchlight in the eye. You could add a bit of room down and left, but that's entirely
personal preference. Well done.

Man, these ducks look so happy when calling! Nice low angle, details colours. Maybe a touch big in the frame, so adding back canvas if you have it, as per Dorian's suggestion, would be good to explore. Personal taste indeed. Quite an engaging frame!

[Jonathan Ashton]

Very nice indeed, I feel the blacks are a little dense.
