Simon excellent exposure and detail

A wonderfully detailed portrait of this common Australian duck, Simon.
Good choice of exposure settings to give the ideal DOF for this shot.

[Lowell Sims]

Great detail, love the water droplets.

Simon -

Two thumbs up for this one.

Sharp, good color, ... etc. Well done.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Yeah, this is one of our 'dirtbirds' for sure. But your capture raises this to a new level. I love all aspects of this image Simon. :)
