Very nice. I might have preferred a slightly more shallow DOF, but a very nice catch.

A great catch...especially since my personal "pet pieve" (sp?) is when the waters surface is mucky/speckled and generally unpleasant looking, which ducks and geese seem to be so fond of, making it harder to ever get a decent shot. You, however have managed an excellent composition. Aside from the simple elegance of the photo, IMO it is technically excellent, I see no imperfections. Good luck with this entry!

I love these birds and you did a great job on this shot. Usually, I like the sharpness focused in on the eyes/face, but with this, the sharpness on the end of wing gives a 3-D effect. the blend of red and black against the grey BG is equally appealing! Good luck, definitely one of my faves!
