    Hi Dave,

    I like the inclusion of habitat in this image, but it seems a little over exposed and the bird is turned away from you.

    I really wish the duck was more parallel to the sensor here, but I love the winter habitat. The tip of the tail is rather close to the edge.

    Lovely habitat. I do wish to see more room on the left as the duck is almost touching the edge. I would also use curves to play with the darks.

    I like the overall composition and the bird's exposure looks good. Other nits already mentioned

    All of the above are getting really good at critiquing... And I am loving it. Do love the snow covered vegetation.
