Wood duck couple

[Rene Quenneville]

I came by this beautiful couple while taking a walk in a nearby park last weekend. I like the mood of the picture. The wave in front of the male gives some motion to this sunday afternoon family swim. I wish the female's head angle was better. I did not have time to go into photoshop, only did tonal adjustment in Lightroom. Is it too contrasty?

I like the picture they seem very peaceful . I like that they are not too sharp. would prefer more color in water

I only wish they wouldn't be swimming away from you, other than that, the ambient and the OOF female work very well for me! Congratulaitons!
