Small duck will become a big duck!!!

[Pierre Larouche]

Hello everyone,

this is a photo i take yesterday. It's a beautiful small duck!!!

400mm...F 5.6...iso 400...1/1250s. Thanks for your comments!!!

Nice Setting pose, and sharpness. I would tone down the bright spots on the neck just a tad. If possible a lower angle would have been better.

Looking forward to more!

The water is just surreal! Love the light, pose, detail, and colors. I woould suggest you to remove the second smaller catchlight. Congratulatons!

Cute little guy and good details. I wish for a lower angle and the light looks a bit harsh. You could use S/H to even it out a bit more.

Pierre:

You have gotten good advice above. I think the match of water color with yellows (rocks?) and the yellows in the duck is very complimentary. Nice head angle.

As mentioned, think lower on your shooting angle for a more intimate feel, esp. for smaller birds/animals!
