Nice looking duck Mark !!!! I like that you got detail in the whites (tail might bg hot) Very easy to blow Good head angle Would move back and crop a little from the bottom !!!!
A beautiful duck. The light is somewhat harsh, and you did pretty well with the exposure although there are a few hot spots in the white areas. The duck is too centered, but a crop will take care of that.
I struggled with the crop. I like the cascading reflection of the bird, especially the orange on the beak. Would you crop from the bottom as Alfred suggested?
