    I love the composition, pose, and water quality in #1 but I really like seeing the tail in #2.

    Tough harsh light with those white feathers. But you did it well.

    If I was into ducks, I'd say these are really nice. What the heck, these are really nice anyway.

    Great shots! And of a beautiful duck. However, they are long-tailed ducks, not pintails

    I've never heard of long tailed ducks. However, when I first looked at these photos, I doubted they were pintails. I've seen pintails before, and none of them had these colors.

    Good ID HNJ.

    Thanks for correcting me. I was told they were pintail ducks by a bird watcher. I guess I should have asked a duck watcher. LOL
