Harlequin Duck, Barnegat Light

I had a great morning with these ducks, my personal favorite images where those of ducks coasting down waves such as this one. After reviewing my images a day later I am further appreciating the female plumage, in some cases I like it more than the over the top males. Comments and Crits welcome.

Very nice light on this gal. I'm not familiar with the conditions at Barnegat Light so I don't know if a lower shooting angle was possible. That's my only crit. Very nice shot.

Same here just a lower angle if possible. Very good position in frame, complementing background. And great head position. Nice going

It's nice to be able to work on this species at all! I think the focus is in front of the duck, do you? When viewing the water in front and the head, the water seems sharper.
