Thanks Doug. I was looking at your member gallery and I really appreciate your feedback. I really like your cedar waxwing shot. Excellent color and framing with the red leaves.

Thank you Jill. I love woodducks too. The most colorful native duck in North America.

I think that this guy was a wild duck that just happened to migrate through the large pond at our local zoo. They have some exotic ducks there that have their wings clipped, but they also get a lot of migrants during the winter.

I'm glad you liked it.

Wow. Now this is a nice one. Great colors, lighting... and I like that I can even see the beads of water on his head.

Hi Pam, I've been looking through your photos. Couldn't resist commenting on this one. (I agreed with the other feedback you had been getting so far on your other shots).
The colors are crisp and breathtaking. I love the water on his head and back. It is an excellent shot! I love it! #678468
