    Default Mallard



    Mallard, Dachau (Germany)

    EOS 40D, 4/500 + 1.4x, tripod, ISO 640, 1/800, f5.6
    about 50% crop from original. slight increase of saturation in the greens with LR2.
    I like the open bill.

    Like the open bill, good detail, nice coloured water and only thing I can pic is the white is a little hot on the tail.
    Nice work.

    I like the light, water colors and open bill. Exposure looks good, too. The bird looks a bit oversharpened and the BG noisy. Did you sharpen the entire image or the duck only?

    I sharpened the entire image. You are right, I should have only sharpened the duck.
