Beautiful. The water color compliments the bird nicely.

Jealous of your capture - I'd love to spend some time with a wood duck! I too really like the water color, it adds that much more interest.

Not that I'm an expert at birds, but I'm wondering if it would benefit with just a bit more room on the left?

 

[Braxton L]

Thanks both of you! Personally, I wouldn’t put more room on the left, but that can be a personal preference.

A really nice image of one of my favorite subjects. The only thing I probably would do is pull about a -11ish vignette. Just enough for you to see when you slide the slider but not enough for the untrained eye to pick up on. I just find it gives a feel of depth, esp. when there is a non cluttered background.

Beautiful specimen, nice low angle, lovely soft light. Very nice. Envious, we don't have many of them here in Central Florida, great shot.
