The duck is lovely, the foreground grasses not so lovely Sharp with good EXP but as Axel mentioned could go a bit brighter. Head position a bit less than idea---wish the the head was angled just a bit more toward you. last wish: a bit more room behind the bird.

Thanks for the critique - I have one question. I agree with you all about it being a bit brighter. The problem is that in LR2 and CS4 it is much brighter but when I export it as a JPG it turns out much darker - any ideas?
