Well taken! I like the low angle, the excellent detail and the eye contact. No nits!

nice detail/sharpness, good exposure and a nice pose showing the neck ring, Robert. I also like your low angle.

The neck ring is prominate Robert, a trate that's tough to capture like this. Nice perspective and detail.

Great detail in this duck Robert. Love how the ring is visible, and you are right, you don't get opportunities like this very often and I'd say you seized upon this one with great results. Well done
