I took this picture last summer. I was not sure about the bird position and the reflexion was cut at the tip of the head. I did add som canvas at the botom and quickly reconstructed the reflexion. Please give me your comments.
Basic COMP is fine. Good job by Peter with the needed CW rotation but too much sharpening. Softer light is best with these to reduce contrast and let you see the purple cheek patch. The blacks are blocked here, in fact, it looks as if the whole image is somewhat lacking in fine detail.

Lovely colours on these guys, and agree this needed a cw rotation. With regards to the over sharpening, it is excessive, as there is a halo around the duck.
