    Frank:

    Very intimate shooting angle, adds a lot in this closeup. Sharp, well exposed.

    Interesting that the pupil is so large in this very bright light.

    Water colors are very complimentary to the hen.

    Cheers

    Beautiful image frank...Little tight in frame for my taste but apart from that this is excellent on all counts.

    nice pose and low angle, a bit softer light would make it even better TFS

    Lovely shot the DOF is super. I really like the low angle and the tight framing works for me.

    were you scuba diving for this one? Amazing low angle which I do love nice colors in the water and a great look at the eye.

    Amazing POV , lovely ,sharp and nice colours . The use of DOF again is very very nice , though I feel the sharpness falling off at the front end of the beak .

    Hi Frank, excellent perspective here, and just love the HA. Sharp where it counts, and I like the overall detail and colours on the Mallard.

    Lovely picture with great details and depth of field. I agree that it would be even better with softer light (but great job with the light you had) and slightly more room in the frame.
