Good to have you back indeed! A lovely image for certain. My only nit is that the "hood" is a wee bit lost against the black background. I know there is the faintest rimlighting there - could that maybe be enhanced a little to mark the boundary? Difficult without seeing a larger version.

Hi Jeroen, nice shot. I've seen a number of your other Duckie-shots.

A stunning bird and looks really good. How about a large version next time so we can appreciate it even more?
