sure is... drake wood duck!

improvement?

exposure is DEAD ON for this species! angle is great! you can't help the lighting and fill would be tricky(besides the bird being 2 miles away in 30 seconds from the burst)

getting slightly lower and left would get the BG darker/ more evenly toned and remove the leaf from behind him. but i like the greens of the algea

post editing is the only thing that could improve this image, and MR.Fitz is than man to ask about that :D
