Hello
Great wood duck pic. Maybe the colours are a bit over done ? Good shot though.
Cheers

They certainly are outrageously beautiful birds and having done a Google on Wood Duck images I think you have the colors pretty right. Could perhaps even get a bit more out of the head. Very nice.
Hi Sridatta, I like the composition and low angle of view, good feather detail, attractive light and subtle reflections in the foreground, nice background. There is a lot to like here. Well done.
Cheers, Ian
Sridatta:
Nice capture of one of the most beautiful of ducks. Good comments above. I have imaged a lot of wood ducks, and the color saturation here is a bit higher than I see on my midwest ducks. Particularly the purple onto the upper breast.
Posting to the full size allowed, 1200 x 900 will give us a better view of the images.
Cheers
Thanks everyone for the excellent feedback. I fixed the following issues.
1. Reduced the overall vibrance a bit.
2. Reduced the background flashiness around the head, to make it more prominent.
3. Increased the size to 1200p.
Sridatta:
Significant improvement on the repost. Well done. Colors still vibrant but more realistic.
Cheers
Randy

Good Wood Duck picture, especially the repost, with a good low angle and nice details. Perhaps a few specks in the water that I would remove, but all else looks great.
repost looks great. Very nice shot of this beauty
