Black-Bellied Whistling Duck

[Josh Clark]

Unfortunately this one is not as "exciting" as the other two in my series were. This one more of a traditional portrait shot. Did get a little bit of a head angle on this one which is better then a straight side profile shot IMO. Anyways, I promise this will be the last BBWD I post from this series. :S3: Thanks for looking and C & C is always welcome.

I'm glad you did take some traditional image stoo as it is always fun to have a variety in your files. Excellent IQ, colours, comp. I just wish there was no OOF greenery at the bottom of the subject. I really enjoyed your series on this photogenic duck!

Josh,
This is a beautiful portrait of this good looking duck.

[Melissa Groo]

Another good variation in your series, Josh. I love the colors and the detail. I do see that OOF greenery Daniel mentions but I think that could be evened out with some work.

Josh,
You really did well on these Whistlers, another stunner. terrific series you captured of this often timid species!

The simplicity of the image is what I like about this shot...just a gorgeous portrait! I don't mind the oof green, it's not that detracting to the image. Great series Josh.
