    You've got to love the Albaquerque zoo.....more "wild" wood ducks than you know what to do with! I waited for the swim by in the reflected color of the BG buildings. Wish I had better light on the last day of my tour for some flight shot attempts......a must do when visiting Bosque.

    I like the mood and soft light, the bird looks a bit soft on my monitor, did you run NR on it?

    Roman, Nice composition. The water looks like it's painted. I like the pose and lighting. Agree a bit more sharpening. I still haven't had a chance to shoot one of these. They look so beautiful!

    Pity that the focus was on the tail and not the head:) Other than that a great posture and lovely background. A slightly lower angle might have been even better.
