Great composition. I like the way you provided plenty of room to the right so the Hoddie can see. I like the swirled ripples around the Hoddie and that his hood is partially raised. Seems just a bit soft around the eye but not to big a deal to me. Great image and I wish I had one like it. Nice, Craig.

Nice shot of this cool duck. I like the rear view with the nice head turn and the way the tail spreads out on the water.I also like the darkness of the water and the reflections in it. It's always hard to tell on my old monitor but it looks a little bit soft on the head and the white on the hood looks maybe a bit bright. Assumiing it's a raw file it's probably fixable.

Love the setting and the head turn. Fanned out tail is very nice also. Good work.

I really like the backside, over the shoulder pose. It gives us a very interesting look at this fascinating duck. I particularly like the fanned tail and the associated ripples. Aside from the issues discussed above, this is a very fine image. Thanks for sharing.

Really Nice
This is one of my nemesis birds. They are so shy around here. I can appreciate this excellent capture.

Good composition with nice colors in the water. For me it look like the whites in the bird are very bright, so there is no detail. Maybe you can make a little adjustment in your photoshop :wink:
