Hello Joe,
Your last close-up photos are so good! Also in this photo the details are really perfect. The clear colours excellent. Not easy to make a choice for a good composition, but this one is brilliant. Very good DOF.
Regards,
Peter

One thing I have noticed in your images such as this one...is your patience..and how closely you watch through the lens...and how you wait almost as a sharp shooter...just for the right moment, all things being hopeful preset...great image Joey!

Hallo Joey
What a delightful and colourful image. I think all the details are just stunning and so clearly visible. This is indeed a WOW photo. A gorgeous waterbird which you presented in a very special portrait. The more I look at it, the more glamourous it becomes. Fantastic portrayal with excellent detail, perfect colours and depth of field with not a hint of noise anywhere. Excellent framing and superb focus.Thanks for sharing. I appreciated this one very much.
Kind regards
Anna

Wow, Joey, you keep on amazing me! This picture is wonderful with so much details and great colours! You seem to have fantastic birds at the Stocker's Lake, what a place to go. You perfectly composed your shot in the frame, the details are wonderful to look at. It's a pleasure to the eye, thank you!

Hi Joe,

I would love to see one of these Pochards. Your close-up is beautiful with wonderful colors and fine details. The water droplets on his face are great. He has such a serious look on his face.

Hello Joe,
a nice close up of this bird. You got really close to catch all the wonderful detail down tho the smallest water droplet. The sharpness is very good and the colors look great.
