Harlequin Duck

[Axel Hildebrandt]

This is another image I made of one of these beautiful ducks at Barnegat Light.

These are exposure nightmares and sure looks good Axel !!! Love the pose and particularly the foot position !!!

Axel, Looks very nice-the foot hanging out is a nice touch. The water color makes a very cimplimentary BG.

Hmmm, whites look borderline at least from here, the head especially. Combining two exposures may work.
Love the pose and head turn.

The only burnt pixels are at the very edge of the white face (where white meets dark). The rest is in the 235-240 area on the PS histogram...looks workable. The clump near the foot is distracting to my eye...but everything else looks great. Good head turn, and I like the seperation between wing-tips and body.

Beautiful duck Axel, I like the look back over the shoulder here.

[Grace Scalzo]

Love it, Axel, bit I vote that the "clump" should go.
