Lovely shot Andreas, I like the image as is but I would suggest toning down the brightest just a little and lifting the darks juts a tad:- (TK masks L5 and/or L4 and D4 mask), they make minor changes but I think perhaps worth considering?
I like the composition and the water droplets, did you have to modify the colour of the water?
Great shot of this handsome duck. Color is terrific on the duck, and I like the detail -- especially the fine feather detail just behind the white flank. Water color seems a bit overdone to me -- is this the natural color or did you boost the saturation? I wouldn't mind seeing him a little smaller in the frame, or at least with a little more room in front. But a handsome shot as posted.
Hello folks thanks so much for your kind comments , much appreciated .
Jon to me the balance is just right regarding the detail in darks and lights , it could have done what you think , but i do not see a need for it . under the light conditions when the shot was taken .
Bill ... the blues are not amplified by adding saturation , they might have come a bit more intense due to the use of a channel blending in PS , but actually they have been already very intense in the RAW , so i thought i leave them , but i can also see a slightly lower sat . Worth a try !!!??
