Nice one... I might just trim a little from the bottom... I was going to question your choice of f16, but, looking closely it appears to have been a good choice as the duck seems to be sharp from tip of beak to end of tail...

Good action capture, but oh my do I love your water - its got a surreal quality to it thats really quite interesting. The different wave faces reflecting different colours - presumably blue sky above and green hill behind? Or some kind of moody lit day? Whatever it is, it works for me. Lovely.

Very nice. Surprised it hasn't drawn more attention. Composition is fine for me. On my laptop looks very slightly oversharpened, but I'm on my laptop so could quite possibly be the screen. F16 was indeed a great choice..... Braver than me :biggrin:

f16 eh. A very brave but successful choice! Superb detail and colour.
