Looks like you nailed him Denise. Lighting, composition, sharpness, and action all great. I might clone out the small dark object on the lower right side... bubbles??
Hi Denise, Lots to like here. Pose, details, eye contact, drops of water, and the smooth blue water. For my taste the placement of the bird is just right. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Agree with previous posts...great light and detail. The water droplets define the action. Great!
Very well done image. Beautiful water and light. Might make a very nice vert. as well?????
You did nicely exposing for this capture, Denise. I love the angle, the BG, the puffed up chest and the water droplets are a huge plus!
Awesome action shot of a great species, Denise (I'd love to see one!). Agree with all above, and I'll add that the largest water droplet in the LRHC wants to draw my eye out of frame.... might just be me.
Great shot as always!

Denise, your images are getting better by the minute... well done.
I love it. this is a fine image,
Exposure, pose, light, sharpness, eye contact, action and beautiful water are all contribute to that.
Can see it as vertical as well.
Thank you all so much for your kind comments. It means alot to me.
Excellent image Denise , lovely compo , techs and BG

Hey Denise - I think this is my favorite D.I. shot yet. I love everything about it and I especially love the look of the water and the sweet facial expression on the little duck.
Gorgeous image Denise excellent wing position and detail she did her wingflap at a perfect angle for you to capture it.
Harshad, Danny and Jim, Thank you very much for your kind comments. Much appreciated.
Hi Denise, I like the show off pose here. Good exposure, detail and overall nice and sharp. I like the colour of the water too. Well captured.

Thankyou Artie for the kind words and the clean-up. I don't have the file in front of me-but I think it was a crop from the left.
