Wood Duck
I caught up with a couple of Wood Ducks yesterday. It was fun watching the courting and protecting the dominant Drake did.

Very well done. They all could use a touch of noise reduction, and the last one seems a bit soft, but these are all nice shots of a beautiful bird.

#1 & #2 are my favs.

What a gorgeous bird! The first two are my favorites. Interesting looking 'water halo' below the duck's beak on #2.

Preference to #2 for the angled body and turned head. #3 does look soft.

Nice series of images Richard. I don't have anything additional to add on the critiques. Looks like this was evening light?
