Nice subject isolation, but the duck looks stoned. Maybe because it's from BC

Very nice, Randy. Perfect choice of aperture to capture the duck in sharp focus but to have a nicely blurred background. And this is no ordinary duck, it is a 007.

The low angle makes this one pop. Nicely captured with excellent use of DOF (not all that easy with that much lens!)

Great POV and use of DOF - wonderful soft colors as well - so only thing wrong: it's not mine

- but seriously: excellent shot ! Cheers, Hans

Great angle, Randy and that's one compelling eye. How do you get your eye to the viewfinder without filling the waders?

A gorgeous image,Randy. I love the treatment of the bird floating in a pastel sea changing from yellow to blue. Very nice that there is no clear dividing line. Very artistic!

Excellent in all respects, Randy... Better make sure you don't sink that rig!
