nice colors, I wish you could shoot at a bit lower angle, some of the whites are blown

nice capture Karl,agree on lower POV,also I too see some blown whites,TFS.

[Karl Egressy]

Thank you all. I'm a big fan of low angle shooting and I always do when it is possible.

Lovely image Karl. I agree some of the whites look a little hot. If your are like me, a lower POV works wonderful for the younger guys. But when you are seventy-two and a little over weight getting down is not the problem it is getting up afterwards. Not very pretty or graceful.... Thank you for sharing.

Thanks, Joe. I'm seventy two as well. I can go down and my lovely and strong wife helps me get up, LOL.

Hi Karl always great to see one of those colorful ducks .
You have a nice comp and reflection in the water , good detail and nice colors .
I just think your contrast is a wee bit high . causing the whites to look /be blown , plus the blacks do look a bit too strong for my taste .
Maybe you could lower the contract and see if you can extract more detail from HL and SH , just a thought .
