Hi Scott,

You captured some nice details and colors on this guy. One can actually see the neck ring too. The composition is a bit tight on the bottom, but I understand that this is what nature gave you to photograph. Overall, I think you did well with your capture

I really like these guys. Tried to get a decent image of some yesterday, but they are a bit more shy than the mallards and coots. You handled the blacks and whites well. Nice image.

Cool shot with some nice action - wish for more room on the bottom though

Excellent, if a bit tight at the bottom. Good detail in both the whites and blacks.

Very nice details on the bird. Nice wing position.
I agree with others about being a bit tight on the bottom. A nice image, anyway.

Well captured. I like the pose, detail and exposure. Seems a tad dark, perhaps a slight levels adjustment?
