I was pretty stoked to get this guy flying low over the tundra late one afternoon up in Churchill.

Well done! I like the background - giving an effect that looks like diffuse grasses. I don't particularly care for the text at the bottom - takes away from the image.

Glen,

Love the shot, love the wings and great BG.
Signature does not bother me at all...it cracks me up when people comment on the watermark distracting the image. We are photographers, use our imagination and pretend it is not there just like the original image.

Glenn:

Nicely done, with good pose, angle in frame, comp.
I have to agree with Don, and prefer to not have any watermarks or sigs on images. I do understand why they are used, and it is a sad thing, but would prefer the least intrusive markings.

Cheers

Randy

Very nice job ...nice flight angle and love that BG!

I'm seeing some haloing around the bird.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Great looking duck captured in beautiful light and good pose...

[Myer Bornstein]

Nice captureexcellent light and on my computer. I cannot see any haloing

Hi Glenn,
perfect flight shot, nothing to criticize except cropping could be a little less.
Regards
Andreas.

Difficult to fault and I would be proud of this.

Great image Glenn! I wouldn't change a thing.
