Wood Duck Portrait

[Kurt Bowman]

Finally got out of the house to shoot some. I've been cooped up for weeks. Thanks to a friend of mine who visited my city, I was enticed to get out. Had some fun. with the local ducks and a very friendly Vermillion Flycatcher (to come later).

Very cleasn sharp and good colours, the tip of the upper mandiblt looks "ok" but compared to the lower it is not so well delineated/sharp.

[Dorian Anderson]

Very nice. Lighting, details, colors are great, and the quack adds a nice touch of action. BG lends interesting texture as well. Well done.
