Beautiful duck. Great pose and perch. I find the BG just a bit bright. Just me. Still a great image.

Beautiful work Matthew! I really like the HA that you have captured here! I only wish you had posted this bigger!

[Mike Tracy]

The angles on the perch draw you to the bird. Colors are nicely rendered and I like the light. Looks as if his bill has some really bright areas. Wish it was posted larger as I can't really get a bead on the eye.

Beautiful bird and background. Although massive the perch kind of works in this image. JR

Killer perch, superb colours, very beautiful BG, surely would enjoy to see a bigger Image, congrats...

I quite like the BG, perch and setting and find it a beautiful, serene image of a gorgeous bird.

That is lovely Matt. BG works for me and the perch makes it.

Hi Matthew,
Love it - perch makes it for me as well!
Best,

What a gorgeous capture. Love the textures of the perch and what a lovely BG. I would crop just up to the first break in the perch from the right and maybe work on the eye just a tad. Just love the pose, the colors and the details. Truly stunning capture.
