Beautiful work Dan! Love the feather detail and colors in the Woodie. The Mallard is great too!

Woodies are my favorite of all ducks. Haven't got to see any since I left Minnesota, so this was nice to see. Nice portrait!

Your shots turned out great Dan. Of course I like the "woodie", but the Mallard flight shot is top notch. We got to get back out there again.

Perfect. Simply perfect! And what an unusual (and beautiful) duck that is.
Excellent work all the way around!

The woody has nice feather detail and color, but I like the wigeon for its whole body and the water streaming from the bill. The waves are nice also in each.

That woody is just awesome. Great shots.

How much wood would a wood duck duck if a wood duck could duck wood? All are awesome, so clean and sharp!
