looks like it was worth the trip Glenn, exellent shot., the perch is sweet.

beautiful photo Glenn. Liked the low angle a lot. This looks like a difficult bird to expose properly. You did very well I must say. As you, for sure, already know, a better HA will improve it a lot.

Tis a beautiful shot Glenn. Love the comp and colors. As Kaustubh says, looks difficult to expose properly and there is some clipping in RAW. Still a beaut and well worth the trip.

Really excellent, Glenn---and well done--it is not easy to get these guys out of the water--let alone get them exposed right. Very nice!

The BKGR is perfect for setting the duck apart, but I find the intense blue in the foreground distracting Boy I would love to see one of these. TFS
