Hi James,

Great control of the dark and whites! The droplets top this off and i love the low POV.

Wind up toy? What a cutie and expertly presented!

[Danny J Brown]

Darn, Jim, I've been going after these little butter pats all winter with no success. The hint of purple is what I love best on this species. You've captured his sweetness very well. Thanks.

[Ofer Levy]

Beautiful image of this handsome male.

Excellent low angle, a really handsome duck, love his colours and nice eye contact TFS

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

James, stunning shot...great whites and blacks and those colors are gorgeous. Excellent angle, water drops, catchlight, HA...flawless IMO.

[Pieter de Waal]

Certainly handsome, nice low angle and great eye contact. I love the way you have managed to bring out those rainbow colours in the face and neck.

[Doug Brown]

Looks great Jim! The website also looks good!

[Troy Lim]

James, you make them look pretty ;)

[Richard Dubiel]

Nicely exposed James, tough little birds to get both the whites & blacks to show detail, great lighting on this shot.

[Todd Frost]

Tough birds to expose, but this looks great. Nice sharpness and low shooting angle. Well done.

Wonderful shot of this little fellow, they are really cute and a challenge to expose as nicely as you have done here. The water droplets on the head and back really convey a sense of what this little diver does all day! Really sweet image and I love that grin he is giving you.

lovely Jim!

Awesome one James !! Just perfect !

[Matthew Studebaker]

Beautiful indeed, but very difficult to expose. Nice job on the highlights and getting all those colors in the head. I also like the two-tone background.
