Cool effect. One question, how? Again with the killer BG. Pose, EXP and details look great. I get it's an OOF duck but why so white? TFS

[Alex Becker]

Cool one and something very different which is nice. I love the BG. Bit of motion blur on the wingtips adds here. Details on the bird look nice, although I do see a bit of noise coming through. Is the far bird a dove maybe? Also trying to wrap my head around. TFS

Guessing it might be an overexposed female? Colors on the male are terrific as is the BG.

Must be a female behind this male. Background is killer. Love the colors on the drake as well. Nice and sharp. More room below would be nice.

Very cool! Perfect duplication of pose from the duck in the BG. I wonder why it is so white?
Love that BG.
