Fantastic catch of a beautiful bird!
Thomas Herou
I really tried looking for a nit:). None found! Superb!
Beautiful image! Wing-down position, open beak, lovely BG, great detail. What's not to like?
Geez that is nice.. Open beak and all !
Makes me want to jump in the car....
Beautiful bird, BG, pose, exposure and watermark :-) the bird seems to be looking at you and posing for the shot. Well done and thx for sharing.
A beautiful, sharp pose, good light and light angle, and a nice background. The open bill is a plus. Well done.
Probably the best Long-tailed Duck image I have seen yet. Great exposure, BG, and colors. I just might tone down the whites on the head a tad.
Excellent all around, great sharpness and detail good pose and placement in the frame. The open bill is a big plus, congratulations!
fantastic image :)
Sweet capture, nice wing position, and the bg really helps here.
Michael, Your work continues to improve to the point of being depressing :) The perfect wing position here, the sharpness, the open bill, the look on the bird's face, and the killer BKGR are all fabulous.

Checked on the whites. There is a smattering of over-exposed white pixels. If they are present in the optimized TIFF I would reconvert to recover. If not, you might wish to increase the density a bit with a Linear Burn.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Artie- The tiff is fine but you are right the jpeg looks a little hot. Will fix. Thanks.
YAW. If the TIFF is OK, I do not worry about a small increase in contrast.
