Red-breasted Merganser

[Indranil Sircar]

I had taken this earlier in December under foggy condition. I used Topaz Adjust to bring out the details in the feathers and applied multiple adjustment layers for saturation, selective colors and curve. Hope you like it...

I like the details of the head feathers especially. Very sharp, esp when contrasted with the water reflection. Having the water white makes it stand out even more.

Hi Indranil;

Your presentation shows off the Merganser beautifully. TFS

Indranil, Beautiful pose and water reflection. Love the high key look to the water. I might try to add a little bit of light or life to the eye. A wonderful shot!

[Dennis Bishop]

Nice job with both the original capture and processing. I like both the colors and composition. The high key look of the water with that curving ripple adds a lot. Great reflection, too.

Indranil, I really like the high key look. It makes the merganser stand out.

[Mitch Carucci]

I love the soft light, and the white background with just a hint of water delineated by a few spare lines works great for me.

[Judy Howle]

You captured a nice pose and I also like the reflection and the light water.

[Indranil Sircar]

Thanks all. I appreciate it.

Hi Denise, I was thinking about the eye before posting. Here is a repost closer to a Merganser's eye...

Indranil, repost does it for me. Loooks better with the eye brightened up a touch. Nice work and capture!

Indranil,

Greetings. Superb repost of a fine image. Particularly like the single sharp line in the water... Good Show!
