Scott, I really like this great look at the underside of the wings. It seems like a very intimate shot.

Nice detail on the merganser, and interesting position and behavior. It needs some CW rotation to level it, and I wouldn't mind a bit more space on the bottom.

A nice look at this merganser Scoot. I agree this needs CW rotation and just a smidge more room on the for my taste. Nice light.

Wonderful detail and pose. I agree it needs some rotation and a bit more room on the bottom if you have it.
Fine image!

Another sharp well expose image. I have not come close to this result on a Merganser. You have given me a target to shoot for. I agree with Richard that a little more room at the bottom might be nice. Nice!!

Scott,
A great look at this merganser for sure. I agree with others in that it needs a CW rotation, and slightly more room at the bottom. Great exposure and good colors.

Wonderful feather detail on the larger image, CCW rotation mentioned but otherwise a very nice shot in some interesting light, way to go.
