    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    At least! Equal time, that is. What a beautiful shot--great colors, unusual angle, spectacular blue sky background. I love it! Best, Pam

    Beautiful shot of a beautiful duck.
    It seems to me that the black beneath the tail feathers is a bit too much and it distracts me from concentrating on the head which is where the real beauty is. Is there a chance you can dodge that area a bit?
    I really like the perspective of this shot! Great job.

    BTW, can you tell me how you got the pic to center in this post? Most peoples pics are justified to the left.

    Cheers
