Muscovy Duck

[Joseph Przybyla]

Looks good to me Joe, not too sure how much more you can extract, but...

Not a fan of the negative space above, I think a 16x9 is better, or have more in the FG. What's the light brown patch behind the subject and the small patch of water under the subject, both look a little out of the norm?

Hi Steve, thank you for viewing and commenting. This rookery is surrounded by houses, a small pond with a island that the birds feel safe to nest on. The light brown is a reflection of one of the houses. I revisited the images and found this one a frame or two later in the same series. The light brown is less intruding and the 16x9 crops helps eliminate some of it. I also lightened the shadows on the bird a tad. Here is a repost.
