    Hi Cody, lots to like here - nice capture and presentation! I really like the color, sharpness, head angle, and background. If it were mine, I would paint out that bright blob right in front of the duck's head and maybe some of the darker spots. I don't think you need as much room on the right and would crop a bit from there. Really very nice image overall!

    This kind of more along what you were thinking Kerry? I think it looks quite a bit better without the obvious blotches. Also cropped a little around all edges but the bottom and sharpened and lighten the eye to bring it out a bit more.

    Excellent image quality Cody, and great light. I like the repost. You have the quality to even go tighter if you wanted.

    I agree with what has been said above, excellent image quality. It looks like I can reach out & touch the feathers.
    Great job.

    The second one for me also...nicely done. I think I would take some off of the left side to move her eye away from center of photo.
