Nice detail. Colors/brightness are better in the larger version.

Very nice. Excellent detail and color. Nice eye contact here and good low angle.

Sandy,
The larger version really pops. The details are very good. Don't you just love the colors on these guys? Nice reflection and a good head turn Sandy. Very good exposure. Way to go.

Sandy, Envy is what I feel. I have shot a lot of GWTs but I always blow out the white rump and edge of the breast or the rest of the duck is too dark. This is what I have been trying to achieve. to you.
What time of the day was this taken?
