Like the background and the great feather detail -- nicely presented

There is such an understated beauty in this species, especially that head. It would have been nice to have the body turned just a little more sideways to the camera, that head is slightly more hidden than I would like. Still and artistic pose though and techs are great. That lens works great for avian subjects too. :smile:

Boy these ducks love to pose for you. The techs look good as usual. I like the raised feathers on the wings. They seem a little more upright than the resting positions I am used to seeing. That ever watchful eye shows well in the larger version. Good work. :toast:

Excellent pose, Jerry, and your usual killer looking water.
