    Nice perch glenn, good composition. I am only inclined to darken the legs a bit and saturate the colours on the legs.

    Nice duck. The perch is interesting, but I think I'd be happy with the lower half or so cropped away. Nice texture in the BG.

    Great perch and composition ! Very nicely done !

    Might try a multiply later to selectively increase density a bit on brighter portions of legs and bill.

    Beautiful capture of the whistling duck Glenn and I really like the composition as is. The perch draws the eye upward to the duck. I also like the alert pose and the BG which is a lovely contrast to the subject. Lovely image and thanks for sharing.

    I'd have to agree. Excellent image needing no changes.

    There sure were a whole bunch of people getting ill at NANPA this year.
