    Default Walkin' Woody

    This male was nice enough to walk around a bit. I really like the ice in the image and being able to have the feet visible.

    1/500 f/5.6

    Thanks

    Great job getting the cheek's colors. The whites look a bit hot, a very common problem with Woodies. There's info on how to fix this in the Educational Resources forum if you need it.

    Thanks Fab. There is detail in the whites, more easily seen in the original. But it's there ;)

    Some what awkward posture, good head angle and detail in the darks. Agree about the whites.

    I think it's cool to see this duck out of the water. WOuld like to see more of the habitat, looks like a stream with logs in it? Colors are great.

    I really like the colors in this and the ice / water flow over the [rock?].

    The whites are really bright compared to the rest of the image which I think makes them look hotter than they really are. That said, I did some poking around with a Digital Color Meter and there are quite a few places where the whites hit 251 or 252 in at least two channels. Since they are not at 255 though, they are not totally gone and should be easy to work with to bring down a bit in PS.
