Great pose, Mike and a nice job on the exposure. Looks like the whites might be hot in a spot or two, but that's hard to avoid with this species. I like the composition and bg as well.

Hey Mike I really like this one-legged pose. Comp and background look great. And a nice profile from the woodie. I have found it very difficult to get good shot of these skittish ducks. Nice job!
