    Jody:

    I agree with Kirk, very nice. I like the small snippet of water on the bottom, it gives a little variety and ties in the environment well. Cropped just a bit tight for my preference on a flying bird, but really excellent overall.

    Thanks for sharing this beauty.

    Great pose, light, details and BG. I think I would like it even better without the blue area at the bottom.

    Jody -
    As good as it gets
    The soft BG compliments the duck perfectly. I'm OK with the blue strip at bottom
    In an ideal world , the wing tip would be down and in focus
    Thanks for sharing

    Great colors and details. I do like the water at the bottom and also like the wing tip up with just a hint of blur.

    Love the BG colours, makes the bird pop so well. Pin sharp, well exposed, good wing position, nice eye detail.
