This Wood Duck was resting in the shade on a very hot sunny day. It just came out of the water and the floating duckweed stayed stuck to its body.

What interesting light you captured here Lise. I would love to see a wood duck this close. They live near me but are very shy. I love all the green tones and the lovely background. It is a very nice photo: good exposure and sharpness.

Hello Lise,
What a splendid close-up of a Wood Duck in a fine pose! I love the sharp focus on the pretty eye and the details of the plumage. The beautiful light in the background makes it stand out very nicely. Lovely colours and well composed too.
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Salut Lise,
Belle composition et cadrage avec les branchailles au bas. Le contact avec l'œil du canard donne un plus ŕ la photo. Trčs sharp en plus le plumage.

This is a beautiful shot. The duck gave you a great pose and you took advantage of it with your excellent low POV. Focus and exposure are perfect producing exceptional details (I love the eye) and also outstanding natural colors!

(Seen us some rain... it has been weeks since it rained and it is 104 degrees F. as I type this).

Hello Lise,
Great shot, Fantastic sharpness and details in the plummage, very good clarity and depth of field, nice oof background, nice catchlight and lovely natural colors.
