Ditto. You're a hard act to precede.

A nice pose, Mike. You captured that kind of cockiness the males display. As is almost always the case with Wood Ducks, you sacrificed the whites to get detail in the blacks. If it were mine, I might selectively pull down the whites in the bill just a little bit. Good work.

Mike,
Very nice shot. It may be my monitor, but my view leads me to believe it may be over saturated.
