    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.

    Significant improvement on the repost. Well done. Colors still vibrant but more realistic.

    Cheers

    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.
