This is wonderful portrait...Must been a cooperative fella..Sharp and nice..Great work
I really like what you were going for here. You have great details. I really like the duck's but in the FG b/c those patterns add a lot to this image. The only thing I am wishing for here is for the duck not to appear so sleepy and that just isn't controllable. At least the viewers know he wasn't bothered by your presence.
Great portrait shot here Jim. Very crisp detail and textures. I believe we visited that pond on our first trip to Kingsville, but we didn't see any Pintails. :(
Wow!!!! Excellent portrait, love the detail, great head turn, very nicely composed, and great complementary background.
Well done.
Wonderful portrait . Great details here !!
Excellent close-up portrait, Jim. Great IQ, beautiful fine detail, love the color tones & smoothness to bill. Well done!![]()
Hi Jim, good detail on the head, and I like how the plumage gradually changes colour across the head. Good through view of the nostril, and the BG colour compliments the pintail nicely.
What a beautiful intimate portrait, Jim. Really stellar. IQ and details are awesome. Great comp.
Superb portrait. love the head turn and the details on the bird. Cant wish for more.
