    Appreciate any comments or critiques!

    Gary:

    I actually think it looks more like a saucer

    The shooting angle makes me think you were laying down on the job again

    Nicely exposed, good colors, complimentary BG

    I might consider a bit off both the top and bottom of the frame!

    Well done.

    Cheers

    Very nice, good complimentary colors and nice detail. Low angle and water make it for me!

    Beautiful wake bow on this guy. Love the HA. Great water color. Happy shooting in 2012.

    Hi Gary, good low perspective, and love the HA and eye contact. The colour of the BG compliments the duck nicely, and I agree with Randy regarding taking off top and bottom.

    Yeah a saucer being drug by a boat :) He even looks like he is positioned for it. Love the wake and the angle of the bird like he's just bookin right on by. Great light and bg too.
