Really nice. What a great look at the ring. Bird looks tack sharp, and you have a nice wing position. My only suggestion is that I think you could handle a bit more room on the left.

Surprised you knew what to do with all that light!

Excellent, with wonderful sharpness! He’s definitely showing off for you!

A gorgeous image, Dan. I don’t remember any sun around here the last few days, though it’s finally seeping through now (1 pm). This really does show off the ring. Very well done.

The duck certainly looks like he is asking you to take a photo. Nicely done. Lovely bg colors as well. I feel it needs a little room on left side as well. Very good job on the whites.
