[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A pair of Tufted ducks in early spring. I find it very difficult to portrait ducks in an interesting (not boring) manner. The approach here was to have a low POV (tripod and angulkar viewfinder) and use the OOF are to contain another bird of the same species. Here the pair is quite close together so quite recognisable.

Hi Jeroen,

This time you came up with wonderful pair of tufted ducks...I simply love watching them. The colors are superb and so as the sharpness. the eyes are just prefectly shown. I love the nice harmony of colors of their feathers. Great job!

Thank you for sharing.

with warm greetings from neighbor country,

Hallo Jeroen,
Die zie ik bij ons ook veel, behalve in de zomer. Ik ben nog niet in staat geweest om er een goede foto van te maken. Het is lastig om een goede detailering in zowel het zwart als het wit te krijgen. Hier is het wit ietsje dicht gelopen. Maar een prachtige foto in uitstekende scherpte, natuurlijke kleuren en een erg goede compositie.
Groet,
Peter

Hi Jeroen,

A nice shot, good focus on the duck, I like the low POV.

TFS regards Bill

Hallo Jeroen,

een mooie foto van deze prachtige eenden die ik ooit nog eens moet plaatsen hier op TN.
Goede compositie, twijfel aan meer scherptediete.

Prachtige kleuren.

Gert
