Congrats on the first time photo of Redheads - great water color -- ducks are sharp -- not too fond of oof foregrounds

Looks good to me as posted. Two ducks are always a lot hasrder than a solo duck.

Congrats on the "first" Jerry. Water color is very cool, nice low angle too. Those eyes really pop. The large image is the same size as the smaller??? Well done!

Nice capture of one of my favorite waterfowl. Interesting water color and good detail and sharpness in both birds. Consider a pano crop to focus on your subjects and remove some of the OOF water?

I love redheads (I have 4 of them, kids and grandkids, not ducks). Always nice to have two males in the same frame. Well done. May
