This is a very nice image of the Pintail Glen and pin sharp!! Although the pin-tail is very close to left border I think it works OK in this case. Interesting water tones complimenting the plumage - have the blue ripples around the duck been enhanced?

Lovely low angle Glenn. The light is fantastic. I like the colors and details on this one.!!

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

I Iove the colors and the low angle!!!

[Blake Shadle]

Really nice, Glenn. Good work on the exposure, and creating a pleasing background. The blue in water is absolutely amazing.

[Jody Melanson]

Awesome image buddy! Love the low angle and colours. The only nit I have is the blue colour in the disturbed water. I would reduce it if it were mine.

[Rich Ikerd]

Excellent image Glenn. You've captured an interesting bird in a wonderful setting.

[Taylor Yeager]

Very nice. the blue works fine for me. I assume it is a refection of the bright blue skied that morning?
