    A wood duck on land. They look even more fake out of water.

    Hi Dan, I dont think you could have got any lower for this capture. A very colourful image, and the duck is seperated well enough from the BG.

    Very nice capture! Never seen one out of the water. Great detail in the feathers and head. I think the background is a bit 'non-uniform' which is OK, just not my taste. Great image!

    They do look fake don't they!! Looks like this male has just started to attain some green feathers on the head...in a few weeks he'll be looking amazing! Nice walking pose, we don't often see their feet. There are some brighter spots inthe BG that could be toned down...especially the one touching the breast, and the yellow leaf below that, and a few in upper left corener. Sharp with nice colours!
