Hi Jerry,

Colors are excellent and the hen duck looks pretty sharp. I also like the light band in the wing which balances the comp. The bill is especially nice!..........................Jim

Great capture of this fast species in flight, Jerry. Light, colors and details are all excellent. You got a very complementary background too. devil

Nice detail and a gorgeous bg, Jerry. I do wish she'd been holding that left wing either lower or higher, but that's what happens sometimes.
