Kostas,

First of all nice job with the eye, arguably the most important part of the subject. The vertical format is well framed and fits the subjects long slender neck. Was this a macro lens. Like the composition and the placement, did you run noise reduction on the image. This is a very interesting subject with lots of facial character. Keep at the birds, you are doing well. Simple subjects in a portrait mode make beautiful pictures. Wishing you and the family Happy Holidays, talk soon and keep em coming.

Hi Kostas- Late on this one. I love this portrait of the Muscovy Duck. Nice and sharp, beautiful background, great lighting. Shoot more birds!!!!!!!!!!
