Like the background and the great feather detail -- nicely presented

There is such an understated beauty in this species, especially that head. It would have been nice to have the body turned just a little more sideways to the camera, that head is slightly more hidden than I would like. Still and artistic pose though and techs are great. That lens works great for avian subjects too.

Boy these ducks love to pose for you. The techs look good as usual. I like the raised feathers on the wings. They seem a little more upright than the resting positions I am used to seeing. That ever watchful eye shows well in the larger version. Good work.

Excellent pose, Jerry, and your usual killer looking water.
