Everything looks fine and do like the soft light, sure got highlight details. Would like to see the right duck with more room to the center duck. Crop wise I think the reflection is not strong enough to include completely. Will re post just a crop.
Nice capture Chris...good advise by Mr. Forns... I would tend to lighten the background just a tad, and increase saturation and contrast just a little...:cool:
Beautiful detail on all three birds Chris. I agree with Al on the reflection - it's great at the top by the bird's feet but then it loses something as it spreads out at the far edge.
Hey - it can't be marriage counseling, the male pintail already has a band and the female doesn't.
Nice image. I think Al's crop is an improvement, and agree with Gus.
Well done

Gail,
The drake is actually complaining to the counselor that he wears his band all the time. He believes that the hen doesn't wear hers because she has been cheating on him!
