She looks great Jim. I wish the Bg was more uniformed.

An excellent profile, Jim. Would prefer the duck farther to the right in the frame.

Pretty lady, I'm wondering if you could have moved a bit to make the background better.

The bright patch on the right is somewhat distracting. Suggest to crop from right upto the start of the neck and add some room in front of her. Give it a bit more sharpening while you are at it ... :roll:

A nice intimate portrait nonetheless, Jim!

I love the repost, the yellow rim is very interesting.

Nice closeup with good detail. I like how the repost has put the focus back on the bird and the bg is less distracting.
