Fall color part 2

[dankearl]

Another Male Wood duck in a bit busier Fall setting, but I thought it was not the usual
Wood Duck photo and I liked the habitat. I wish for this one I could have had more DOF with even
busier sharper foliage, but you
can see from the settings, this was in pretty low light.

Lots of beautiful color. The duck is very sharp and the exposure looks good. Great habitat shot. Gail had a good point on your last post that this colorful GB would look better with a hen instead of a already very colorful drake. Great work...

Wonderful shot Dan.
I really like the setting here. Even though the background is busy it still works for me. Love the colors and the nice muted light.
If mine I would crop some from the bottom slightly below the reflection and some of the top.
Well done.

They dont come much more colorful than this, a very Chinese look to it all, I think too I would crop as Robert suggests

Wasn't sure I would like this but the more I look at it, the more I like it. It's very unique and the environment really adds a lot to it. The duck is placed nicely in the frame. Needs just a smidge of CW rotation.

Marina took the words out of my mouth with regard to rotation. Lovely image, I don't mind as presented. The colours look a little dull, but perhaps that's the result of low light as well.
