Is this yours Bryan? It's almost an exact mirror copy of your original ;) Great capture as always ;)

Superb capture. With some additional tonal contrast to the feathers, this would be a top 5 image. That being said this should score well.

I can't believe you got nearly the exact same position - definitely the same as far as the head/eye/beak is concerned. You must have amazing patience! All that said, I think I prefer the original. That doesn't mean this one didn't score very well, though. Nice work, as you always do.

I didn't vote in this challenge the first time, but for sure I would have voted high your original picture. Light is better in this second take though, it allows me to appreciate better all the details of this wonderful picture. Good job!!

Good moment you got there. Well done.. Maby a little gray, I would try to make more contrast in colors.... But overall, nice.

I can't find the original, but I remember it, and I remember it being better than this.

Oh...I remember this amazing photo that looks a lot like one of mine :) Your first one was reeeeeeallly awesome, but this one is even a little better because of the look in the duck's eyes. I still love these birds in color. . .their color is so spectacular. . .but I absolutely LOVE this photo!!!! Kudos!!

I would like this better in color. The green head and blue in the wing are so beautiful. Just me. Van

I like this one. Usually I get bored when I see bird photos but this one makes me smile. More contrast would have helped though.

Ah wow. This is one of those shots that just grabs you.
It's got such quality and character, i wouldn't change a thing, flawless.
10 from me.

I really like this, but I'm perplexed about why you went with b/w. I'd really like to see the colouration in the wings. Was this originally a b/w challenge maybe?
