Beautiful Shot. I love the colors of these ducks. Love the low angle.
-
If I wasn't before - I am now completely sold on this workshop.
These pics are simply brilliant. I'm looking forward to opening this image again at home on a better monitor than the one I have here at work so I can fully appreciate!

Melissa:
Both of these images have been excellent. I think they need to be printed or displayed together to show the alternative wing positions 
Again, excellent display of their many colors, esp. the green on the primaries.
I might try a version 1/4 to 1/3 stop darker, but that is just personal taste.
Cheers

A killer image to be proud of.

Melissa these are both beautiful, but I like this one better, an absolute killer shot. Excellent exposure, pose and detail. Well done!
-
I prefer this wing position but I do like the water droplets in the last image. Looks like you had a successful trip!
-
Another great shot of this beauty. Congrats on getting these shots!
-
Great image Melissa! I like wing position, exposure, pose and sweet BG.
-
Fabulous Melissa! Those colors are fantastic, and the low angle really gave us a wonderful background. Nicely exposed and processed.
-
Wow, that guy is quite the showoff. And you have brought out the best in him Melissa. Great low angle, perfect wing position, nice smooth BG. This one has it all. I like Randy's idea of a tad darker.
-
Another winner Melissa, excellent all around!

Melissa, equally good. I love the sharp wing tips here...but the tail in that one was special :-) no need to compare really...both images are worth being proud about.

Just enough to reduce a slight bit of glare on beak, neck and flank. Works for me!

Melissa,
I really like this image allot The tonal qualities, low angle, forward wing stroke, IQ, and eye contact are all very captivating, You were certainly a gifted student at this workshop and made the most from your experience as this is truly a beautiful image!

I have to say both images are fantastic, but I enjoy the sharpness of the wings more in this one but the pose better in the other one...Dont often say " I wish it was mine'...But in this case I do!
