I agree with you on these guys. I find them, especially the drake, very noble looking. I also find them a bit skittish and hard to get close to. I do like the fact that you managed to capture two, in approximately the same plane. For me, the image looks a bit flat. It looks like the light you had to deal with was not ideal. There is also a bit of noise in the background, easily taken care of. Not much detail in the blacks, again partially due to the harsh light. I have lots of images just like this. One day, all the stars (light, up close, interesting behavior) will align and you will have a stellar image.

I will echo Jerry's comments. I have a lot of pictures of these, all going away from me! :wink:
