Ring-necked Duck (male)

[Dorian Anderson]

This guy didn't want to swim as close as the female from 2 days ago, but I was hella stoked to get him in these smooth surrounds.
Went with wider comp to accentuate the negative space. Only needed to to clone 2-3 small things on water's surface. I did lighten
some darker background areas and vice versa to get this uniform effect.

nice frame, the clam green water really helps with these type of frames for sure

Very nice low POV on this one. I like the water color as well.

Looking really good Dorian.........The calmness of the water, and the colour, makes the duck look special....Detail, pose, HA all good....Brilliant POV as usual.........Well done..

Gorgeous Dorian. Dramatic light, beautiful creamy FG as you were all kinds of low, and that rich green is mega.

Well done my friend.
