    I like it as presented with a tad off the top. Like the ripple underneath, little late but nice blur.

    A very nice capture indeed Mr. Peters...I like the forward flapping motion, you have a very sharp eye and good head angle...love the action...well done...:cool:

    Agree with Mr. Cobos comments, except that I would take a little from the left as not to have the subject in the middle of the frame. Eye is tack sharp my friend.
    Congrats

    i'd be tempted to take a little off the left and bottom. i'd also desat the greens a little. dont feel natural to me. might even multiply the sheen on the bill. that is my-t-fine ooc!! cant believe you didnt sharpen that thing!!!

    Lance, I agree with the crop suggestions and the desat of the green. I might lighten the eye as well. Great job OOC. Congrats!!

    Lance, I'd like a little off the left and for the upper right hand corner to be a little lighter. I'm on a laptop right
    now but there is a spot on the wing that looks a little hot to me. Amazing sharpness - I'd love to have taken it:)

    Looks like the duck is giving you a standing ovation. Sharp head and eye while the wings blur to show motion. The splash droplet also add to the image. Agree on cropping from the left more. Agree about desaturate the background, but would be hard to do that that while not desaturate the splashing droplets.
