    Less than a week old wood duckling was taken 3 yrs ago in Santee - a month after i got addicted to this hobby (or my wife calls it an obsession). Shot in jpg (didnt know about RAW at that time)

    D70, 80-400mmVR set at 400mm; f8; 1/400sec; processed in CS3 - just levels & contrast adjustment, and a bit of sharpening. didnt touch saturation - may be i should have desaturated a bit.

    thx in advance for your comments

    How nice, cute little guy and the concentric ripples are great. Exposure is right on and the sharpness is super.

    I would quick mask the light areas and lighten the rest of the image, its okay as is, but lighter would be more appealing, just dont use levels. Use curves with a mask.

    Hope you dont mind the repost, applied a quick 10 second > mask and curves treatment in PS.

    Also I removed a couple of points of red.

    Hope you like it.
