Bill,

Looks like your DOF worked great here and I love the look you appear to be getting from this duck. Nicely done!

Great shot Bill. I like the subdued light and the nice position of the bird. Maybe just a bit less room on the bottom and a bit more on the top?

Lovely looking birds with lovely subtle colourings. Excellent pose with good head position and the exposure looks spot on to give great detail throughout the bird. Lovely image of it's type. Graham

It's beautiful. My only nit is that the bird feels a bit too centered for me. Amazing dof and detail.

Perfect title Bill and the duck looks great too. I like the even lighting. I could see taking some off the bottom but this also works for me as is.
