Really interesting image, Randy. I like the intense colors that are here and just the peaking of the light on the forward bird. Nicely done.

Very cool to see them in their non-breeding plumage, Randy. I like the subtle lighting. Very nice.

Very interesting to see a wood duck in non breeding plumage, I have never seen this before. I like the iridescent shine coming off the feathers and seeing that red eye, nice job in getting this, way to go.

I like this environment and the birds juxtaposed this way, it's well composed.
Great job on the exposure for this difficult setting, nice details on the near bird where you want it.
Well done.
