Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park and Eco-Center was born of the important work performed at the Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Breeding Center. Through its captive breeding programs, the Breeding Center has made significant contributions to the survival and expansion of many threatened species. With more than 2,500 birds and 170 species, the Breeding Center is home to the largest captive waterfowl population in North America. Pioneering work conducted at the Breeding Center includes Magellanic Steamer Ducks, African and Indian Pygmy Geese, White Backed Ducks and many other species.
Thanks for taking the time to review and your critiques.
Hi Phil I like the poses and positions for the ducks, very appealing
You did well with the exposure since the whites are not blown and got detail in the dark feathers. I think you could enhance the image in PS by making a new layer and multiplying Then back down the effect Should make it look denser !!! Could also try simply going into selective color and adding neutral and black !!! I like it a lot !!!
Phil
I, too like the poses and can certainly appreciate any wood duck images as they're terribly skittish where I live. Alfred's given some good advice on further enhancements. Well done.
