Karl, your duck photos are just amazing! Great wing position, tack sharp and nice soft light. I like the ice in the background, not how I'm used to see this species in Sweden.

Nice image Karl, I'm viewing it from my iPad but the light looks a tad flat, none the less as mentioned it is tack sharp and a great pose. On a side note we've been ice free in SE Alberta for 3 weeks now. :)

Great flight pose and sharp, Karl!
Would probably go a bit darker ...

This is excellent in all respects. The detail shown is the clincher. I like the colour toning as well. If darker....just a notch.


Cheers
