Wood Duck Hen

Note exactly the correct sun angle, but there was no opening to the left.
I really liked her colors so....

I like the angle and colors. The BG looks a bit noisy and I find that the bird is a bit big in the frame. The head looks a bit soft and I wish for more eye contact.

Hello,

I like the composition but I have to agree with Axel, the head looks soft in my monitor as well. There is a lot of noise in the BG which can be fixed using a NR software.

Keep them coming!

Very pretty image but it appears to me that the focus is on the back rather than the head which makes it appear slightly soft. Love the low angle and pose here but agree a little more room would strengthen this caputre. thanks for sharing Thomas.
