    Default Wood Duck Hen Portrait

    This is a wild bird. Image is not a setup but was taken at a city park where the birds are accustomed to lots of people.

    1D MKIV
    500mm
    Hand Held
    Manual mode
    Evaluative metering
    ISO 800
    f/6.3
    1/800

    Brightened the iris and removed a double catchlight (even though I did not use flash) otherwise nothing added or cloned out.

    Very nice portrait. I really like the composition and the BG. It looks like sky with fluffy clouds! I like the iridescence in the feathers as well,
