Cinnamon

Last week I found this cinnamon teal far away, and all alone, on a pond where three other duck species were gathered closer to me. The image is amended for white balance and is heavily cropped.

Nice basic comp and species! The reds look over-saturated and if possible, a lower angle would have been nice. You can be proud to have gotten a tough species in pretty tough conditions.

Ditto Aidan on the saturation. I like the hint of orenge in the water to complement the duck. I wouldn't mind less room above but realize the crop is already substantial.

Nice eye contact. it could use somemore sharpening on the head IMO.

I agree on the desat. of the reds Wendell.

Thanks to all . . . what a difference desaturation of the reds made!

Very nice colours and good detail for a heavy crop.
