Alan this is a stunning looking bird, super colours and a nice pose, afraid I can't find any nits to pick.
Cheers Keith.
Such a great bird this is. Love the pose and colors. Great shot!
Cheers, Tom
Awe-inspiring shot, amazing.
This can't be a real bird!! But I hear it is....
What would you think about darkening the sky (or water?) above the head, to get a little more definition? I also lightened the blues and cyans a little at the base of the bird.
The image doesn't have a tagged profile -- some browsers won't display the colors correctly on some monitors.
Alan:
Wonderful bird, well captured, excellent colors.
My only thought when looking at the post was that his head blended in with the blue background a bit, and Diane has addressed that well.
I am afraid I really need to add Barrow to my bucket list!
Cheers

Great bird, colors, SH, and image design. I wish that ducks never got those specular highlights on their wet breasts....
