Thanks for looking

Peter...just a friendly reminder...only one image per post. It's in the sticky Please Read First for
this forum.

Out of the three, I do like the second the one best, with #1 coming in at a close second. Unfortunately
the head angle kills #3.

I would maybe crop a little off the left on #1 and #2 so they wouldn't look so centered.

The exposure and post processing all look pretty good to me and you did a fine job.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Doug

Pretty hard to pick a favorite out of the three, would be nicer to see in a larger image and one at a time. Colors are great and wing flap is nice, all looks quite sharp and well focused.....but clicking on the images to open up in flickr the backdrops look a little noisy/grainy, but nothing a run of selective noise reduction in PS couldn't fix

Hi Peter, nice looking Wood Duck you got here! As Doug mentions only one image per thread can be posted, except for a reworked re-post of the same original image. You can post one and then a link to the others if you wish. Images can be posted up to 1024 pixels horizontally and up to 250kbs. Having said this I agree the second is the strongest of the three due to the dynamic pose, better comp.
