Pretty sweet Glenn, I like the water droplets

[Ilija Dukovski]

Great bird indeed, excellent color composition, I like the droplets very much too.
I'd tone down the dark spots in front/left of the head. Very nice flight image.

I like it Glenn. Head is super sharp and the water droplets combined with the blurred wings make you sense the action. I love pintails. I think they are the most elegant duck.

Pin sharp where it counts, and this pops so well from the BG. I like the trailing droplets. Well captured.

Beautiful crisp details and colors are very nice! A bit tight in frame. Love the water droplets.

[Aidan Briggs]

I love the great light, exposure, and sharpness. Love the water drops too. Maybe a bit more space in front. Vancouver workshop looks like fun but is a little out of the budget range.

Beautifully captured Glenn!

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

This is stunning Glenn. Love the framing, water droplest and blurred wings. Awesome work mate! :)

[Simon Bennett]

Super sharp flight image- background works well too.
