Does this work?

I liked the look of this little lady Mallard showing the speculum. I went with a pano crop to keep the ripples from her drips in the image. Does this make the bird look too centered?

50D, EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS + 1.4x @ 280mm
Aperture priority, f/5.6@1/250, evaluative metering EC +1/3 ISO 200

Thanks!

This is excellent Kerry,
I like the pose...the sharp details in the feathers the head angle and the sharp eye...the color rendition is superb, and the quality of the water makes it for me...the water droplets from the bill is an added bonus...well done...congrats...looking forward to some more...:cool:
