Darn ducks, there just unreliable. :wink:

I like the warm light on the Flicker and the blue BG highlights seem to really bring out that warmth on the bird. Nice comp too. :toast:

I like the warm light and how he stands out against the dark bg Doug, if it's not cropped much already I'd consider a tighter crop, maybe to a vertical presentation. :toast:

Doug, awesome shot of a great bird. The verticle is outstanding IMO. Well done.
