Female Common Merganser

Thnaks for looking!

Again, great capture with amazing detail, but the image has the artificial feel of a composite.

Another great shot Dave. At first I thought there was a tonne of sensor dust but then I realized that some one spray the monitor with Coke heere at work.

The bird is sharp and you've left appropriate space at left, but I would suggest cropping the blue and some of the top to create more of a square picture. The blue distracts the eye.
