Love these Whistling Ducks. Really a nice shot of this launch too. A tough bird to expose and you did well. Could use on more shot of USM.

Great light, pose and details. The droplets add to it. I might try to apply some selective S/H on the left wing. Maybe you can get more details this way.

[Arthur Morris]

Pretty darned good. Excellent suggestions above. If it fits with your personal ethics, you might wish to do some work on the bill shine. later and love, artie

Excellent comp and great natural colours. Like the water drops.

Superb detail shown overall, super colours, and I like the trailing droplets too.

Really beautiful, gorgeous image, just a little bit more light on the left wing would improve this even more.
