Lovely shot, John. I really like the wings down and angled body position. Great detail and I like how the colours of the plumage are repeated in the vegetation in the BG. Well done.

I really like the colors,composition and the wing position!
EXCELENT flight image with a terrific light, Bg, eye contact and wing stroke. I wouldn´t change a single bit on this image John. Superb job!
Great shot! BG is perfect

I like everything about it! Well done!
Excellent. Everything looks good. The bonus vegetation at bottom puts this over-the-top! Even the canvasback is flying slighlty towards the viewer, super :-)
sweet image!! no nits here.
No fair. Tony stole my whole critique. I can only add that a strong image would have been improved with a bit more room in front of the bird.

I want to thank everyone for taking the time to look and comment on this image. I appreciate and value your opinions!
Thanks Artie for commenting and your suggestion for more room on the right. The good news is I've got another 10-15% available-I just cropped it too tight. I need to go back to the RAW file and re-do this one. I just learned another time saving lesson-crop last. Thanks!
Hey John, You are welcome. Not sure why the 3X2 proportion looks so good in some cases but with a flying duck it is easier to figure that out.

I did a quick rework from the raw file with a bit more room in front of the duck.
I like the comp of the repost, John, but we seem to have lost some of the green of the original. Really lovely flight image.

Way to go John. Compositionally, the repost is much better and I am sure that you will get the color right.
