Great set, Christopher.
I see why # 3 is your favorite. Personally I go for the opener with the splashing water and the one left behind.
Although I'm sure she will follow.

Fantastic (of course), Chris! The flight shots are classic Schlaf images, but what really caught my eye (since I've seen lots of classic/fantastic Schlaf images) are the ones with an unusual perspective and/or environment.
Great series, equally inspiring and intimidating (as usual).
Tremendous images of these beautiful subjects. I enjoyed them all, too tough to pick favorites. I look forward to some new shots when they arrive next month.
Your comps are fun for me, sometimes showing going against the 'norm' can be very effective Chris
So #6 far right takes me a few moments to say........YES that works! How cool
And #8, I guess it is about the stick presenting the Duck and again the comp works for me
#1 Sheer elegance and class, lovely warmth, fantastic comp and image
#2 difficult low light to bring out any snap, a bit noisy for me on this one perhaps on BG
#3 Amazing processing. Appears as if you had a bounce fill on this shadowed side? How the heck did you get this one to look this exceptionally good with backlighting?? This one belongs on a Duck Stamp Chris or cover shot, darn cute and vibrant, love it man!
#4 wonderful
#5 excellent and I like the placement of subject here
#7 The light hit just right, does look like the legs were grafted to this stick though
#9 nice grab
#10 what wonderful golden light, such a classic pose too!
Wow, you have an amazing set here, thanks for the visual treats!
