Napping again!

[Kerry Perkins]

This is a different view of the duck I posted earlier. Sharpened the eye this time and made a minor crop for composition, otherwise this is right out of the camera. I thought it would make a nice cover for a book. Hmmm... ;)

50D, EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS + 1.4x @ 200mm
Aperture priority, f/5.6@1/1600, partial metering EC -2/3 ISO 200
AI Servo autofocus using back button, HH no flash

Thanks for looking!

Kerry, that is some sweet light again. I really like images like this where we can see the light source on the object of interest. I do think if it were mine I'd consider cloning out the very outer pieces of the duck's reflection - the bottom two pieces of the head and the small pieces of the tail that are not really connected to anything. It's purely a personal decision but those extras pieces are more of a distraction than an addition because the rest of the reflection has all the necessary components.

Julie, thank you so much for that excellent suggestion. How's this?

Kerry, The light and reflection are great-Julie's suggestions were spot on, your re-post is fantastic!!

[Julie Kenward]

Excellent! It's those little things that can make or break an image. You did a great job of cleaning up what didn't need to be there.

[Kerry Perkins]

Much appreciated!
