The Duckshop with EJ Peiker was a very successful experience, not only there was plenty of subjects but also the weather cooperated very well. Great instruction tips. I will be posting more images. All comments are welcome.

Different (no water line) and nice. A little selective USM might bring out even more of the texture in the feathers.

Great portrait! I like listening to these guys almost as much as "shooting" them.

Juan,

This is a very nice shot. I like the alert pose.

An excellent shot and the slightly open bill is definitely a plus. Perhaps a very slight crop from the right might strengthen it even more.

Beautiful shot, Juan. Besides a small crop off the right, I'd suggest including enough space below to include the waterline as an anchor.

What a little show off. These ducks have the cutest personality. :) I really love the green head- I also like the crop suggestion.
