Sorry for posting so many Wood Duck images lately.
This is probably my number one favorite of the series.
Thanks for looking. ( click on the image, it looks better at larger size)

Man you are getting some nice woddie shots Karl. This one looks great with a nice head angle tilting our way and the light has covered the head and body really well. The colors and details are perfect and the green BG looks killer too. Love to have this in my files.
I would think about reducing the highlights in this, as the whites are right on the edge and it will give you a bit more detail too. Killer Karl!!

This one is my favourite, too, Karl. Nicely composed, clean BG and super sharp. Love it.

This one might be the best of the bunch. The whole image, but particularly him looking at you out of the corner of his eye, is great.

Awesome take-off (or was it landing?) pose captured, Karl!
Yes, would go a little less bright in this one.
