I would appreciate your comments and suggestions. This Tamron 150-600 lens is pretty impressive!

I like!
My suggestion is for you to re-post, and check the box labeled (store original), so we can enlarge to appreciate resolution & detail.
Looks great to me, excellent shot?

Thank you for the suggestion (and your comment). I'm fairly new to the forum and wasn't quite sure what "(store original)" was for. I will repost now.

Excellent upon enlargement. I appreciate your selection of a large aperture to focus-isolate subject from background.
One absolute key for wildlife photography: the nearest eye must always be in absolute focus.
Is your image cropped from original? If so, can you also post original capture? This is a learning experience for most of us.
very impressive, beautiful color. Thanks for sharing

Ken, you have captured a wonderful moment in time, and have created a technically flawless picture, spot-on focus, great color and contrast simply a wonderful technical shot. You asked for comments, and I will say that composition is what take a technically flawless capture, and turns then into this "WOW", attention grabber wall hangers.
You composition is what I call Mug Shot (centered). I suggest the simplest composition to learn is the rules of thirds. Shoot wide, crop for composition, and enjoy the compliments.
Beautiful duck. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Thank you for your comment. Here's the original (non-cropped) image. It was taken with the lens on a monopod with vibration reduction (VC in Tamron speak) on. At this distance (maybe about 50 ft) and with the motion I still had on the monopod her head was so small I had trouble locking on to her eye. I'm still practicing. I also added sharpening and the vignette in Lightroom CC to the cropped image.

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried the rule of thirds on the original image and didn't care for the result because of the way she was folding her head back while preening. Here's another shot where she's not posing. Placing her a third of the way in seems to work. What do you think?
