Hi Dan,
I really like this. Nice details on the bird’s body and blur in the wings showing motion. I like the water drops. Nicely composed.

This is great, Dan. The energy is tremendous. Just a great image. I do think the green of the far shore might be a bit of a distraction from the duck, but it’s pretty minor.

Love the full extension of the wings. Bird is really sharp, great angle, and the BG is really pleasing. Image seems a touch dark, and there appears to be a yellow color cast. I’d love to have an opportunity at these guys!

I like the low angle, energetic pose and blurred wings. A little dark as presented.

Excellent job on this one. The wing position and the body position against the out of focus background create a wonderful composition. Nice wing tip motion and detail in the plumage.
