Very nice. I like it.

Great shot and great compsition. The tonal values are all complimentary to the background and the subject. I don't know how this will score because it's not 'cute' but this is a very very good technically perfect wildlife capture - worthy of any orthinological magazine

wonderful contrasts - great composition

Love the colours and the natural setting, 9 from me.

7 - Very nice and in seemingly natural setting. Criticism; 640, slight focal point variation maybe (seems sharper on the grass in the left), but difficult to discern at this size. Like the composition. Not sure on the frame.

great sharpness, light and colour

Great colours, perfect natural environment but it's not woods, so I'm a bit confused! Good detail and composition, good luck.

Lovely colors.

Beautiful. Might be better cropped closer, but I do like the water in the background.
01/25/2006 03:46:39 PM
well done
01/25/2006 02:51:54 PM
Love the rich tones. Duck is nice and sharp. Nicely done.

Beautiful bird with a nice background. I like the blue in the distance as it seems to help the red of the duck's eye really pop. Very pretty.
01/25/2006 08:33:18 AM
Nice. I love this bird. I have a lot of photos of it.
