Love the low angle and the crop. the colors and sharpness are great. The blade of grass leading to hsi nose is a bit distracting. I know, I know he doesn't have a nose.

Hi Oscar,
I see that my duck has an evil twin...:D:cool:
Definitely my fav image of yours - just beautiful and the OOf grass doesn't really bother me - I think the green sets off the other colours nicely. Big congrats on this my friend!
Regards,
Nicki

Hi Oscar,

Wow! I really like this. The framing of the bird works really well. The colors and detail are great. Very impressive!. I do agree about the blade of grass being removed if your open to such things.

Regards,

Phil
