Desmond,

I am on work monitor but colors look great and I like the composition with the rich BG reflections. Good eye, HA and picture has a nice feel - congrads.

Good colors on that duck !! Would just crop some from the top side, will help out the proportion Excellent !!! ...... btw love the quality at that ISO !!!

Nice shot, agree with less room on the top.

Hi Desmond,
Beautiful capture. I like the color rendition and fine feather details. You have a good head angle and sharp eye contact...agree on a little off the top and might adjust the water level by a slight CW rotation...congrats...I like it...:cool:

lovely colours on a good looking duck.
Well done Desmond - techs are all covered.
Nice one :)

Great color and detail. I find the soft white lines just above the back a little distracting. Another vote for a little off the top TFS

Thanks for the comments, everyone !

Spectacular color, Desmond. The green wing flash is over the top. Concur with a tad off the top and a tiny bit of CW rotation to align the bill tip with its reflection.
