Pintail Hen

nice, would like to have one like it in my files.

Really nice ! As others have noted before, the female ducks get much less notice, but are still very beautiful.

Very nice Sharon. I like the subdued light and the nice detail you captured. If this were mine, I might have gone with a slightly different comp, cropping up from the bottom to just below the great reflection. And then adding to the top of the image to get more of that great water pattern in the image. That is if you have the canvas available at the top. Very nice overall.

Must have been right behind you. Have several similar shots of all the cooperative Pintails. Think this is better than mine but will post later so we can compare notes. Great job and great place to visit.

Beautiful peaceful image. Nice muted background, good pose and nice reflection.

Such nice details I feel like it is the real bird right in front of me. Very pleasant image to view. The reflection is super nice. I like the composition.

Great detail and reflection Sharon

Yes, she is a beauty Sharon, esp in the larger version. I like the perky pose and the colors of the bird are delicious.

Looks great to me Sharon

Lovely Sharon - I like the contrast between the calm water and the patterned plumage.

Something very feminine about here, the long neck and smallish head perhaps. This definitely works for me. The little vertically running ripples enhance the image a lot.
