I'm so glad this photo did so well. . . I just read your profile, and I think you are wise to be devoting your full time to photography now. You obviously have a lot of talent. It got a 10 from me and became one of my favorites (and I only have 2 or 3). Congratulations!

Thanks everyone for the comments on this. I am thrilled it did so well. I was out back to shoot something else and had my inexpensive 50mm fixed lens on when I saw several ducks taking off. I just cropped this one out close. I wish I would have had my zoom len on. I was however lucky in the fact that this one was the only one that had totally turned to his winter color and I focused on him.

The dof is good, the colours are fine. I'd prefer the wings to have been upwards, though. 7

Lovely, should be a DNR duck stamp. The droplets caught are superb...

This is a lovely image with the droplets falling. A great image to enhance a top notch port. Bumping up.

A little blur on the tip of the wings, but everything else is just about perfect. Great colors!

This shot really made my jaw drop. I think thats a good thing. What a wonderful capture. Its a shame the wing tips are blurred...and I hope you dont get downgraded too much because of it.

Awesome! This is by far the best bird shot yet. Perfect, and I love the background and water drops behind the bird as well.
