    I like the pose, details, light and BG and would give it a bit more room.

    Now that's a sharp image Dave! Great light and nice eye contact. Another vote for more room.

    Amazing detail. Just a bit more room in front of the bird.

    Beautiful duck.

    Love the light and exposition in this one. I agree about more room in front and behind.

    My only wish is that the near wing was raised a bit more. The light and the detail in the sunlit areas is amazing, and the light and BKGR are too, too sweet. I for one am fine with the bird large in the frame.

    Dave, you nailed this one. Stunning light, pin, pin sharp, and pops so well from the BG. Comp looks good to me. Congrats.

    Super exposure in sweet light. Also feels it needs a bit of room to the left.

    Holy Moly :D This is an incredibly sharp flight shot. Amazingly blue sky.
    What else needed? Maybe I should be the copyright holder :D :D
