    James, Really nice feather detail and exposure. Cute pose and head angle. I like the neutral color of the water. Looks great!:)

    Great HA James, lovely sharp detail, and I like the complimentary colour of the water. Well captured.

    Sooper Image. The image has a nice glowing feel to hit. I would love to see one without the complete reflection with a little more space on the top as well...

    Gorgeous female Bufflehead. Nicely captured! I really like the tail feathers. Perhaps a slight saturation boost.
