Killer wing and head positions, great catchlight in the eye. White looked bright and I took a bit off the back and the bottom to tighten it up. I ran a 50% Linear Burn on the WHITEs. That is an unusually high percentage.

Artie hit the repost dead on. I have found these ducks to very elusive when they want to be. Getting one with green neck colors and veins standing out on the neck is a real challenge.All in all no too bad.
I fully agree with Artie's critique/repost. For the new crop he worked with what he had, but another option for you would be to re-crop with more space added above and right if you have it (with less below).
