I wish it were mine! I love the detail and the topside view.

Great shot David! Sure the white on the head is a little hot, but I love this photo.

[Steve Maxson]

A beautiful sharp photo of a beautiful duck. Very nice light on the bird. The whites look a little hot on my monitor.

[Arthur Morris]

Pretty damend good. Love the dorsal view and the spread tail. There seem to be some artifacts just below the base of the bill. Wish that this were mine. later and love, artie

Another nice one for your portfolio David. Well seen.

Awesome top angle. Love it!

[Raymond Barlow]

sweet shot David, these guys are major fast, and it is fun trying to keep up with them.

[Blake Shadle]

Really pleased?? You'd better be!! Great work, David! I really like the placement of your subject in the frame, not to mention the top-side and dorsal view. The bill looks a little strange, agree as Artie noted about possible artifacts at the base. Incredible image, overall.
