I had the best time photographing this guy from behind the blind during my first trip to Bosque in February. Comments/crits appreciated.

Excellent image. This works well with the top cropped to a pano format.

The dried reeds make a nice setting. I agree with the pano crop to make it stronger.

Agree with cropping the top. Sure wish I would have check out the blind when I was there.

I like the tucked in bill but the eye open. The reeds do make a very nice setting. I agree with the crop suggestion, really makes the bird stand out more.

Lovely duck and setting, the reeds are a plus, a nip of the top frame would also be nice, good exposure to boot!! Congrats!!
