Hi Asbed,

I like the male even better than the female! The pose is so cute with the rear view and the tail feathers up in the air. Nice colors and that red eye really stands out. Looks like someone put a toy wooden duck in the tree - kidding, I know he's real. Nice composition on the horizontal branch. Too many leaves on the trees down here now and it's hard to get clear shots of the birds.

Hello Asbed. You are lucky to have the pair in your collection. This more beautiful male is well perched on the branch giving very pleasant perspective. The flower is an added bonus to the blue sky. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Hi Asbed,
Well it is funny that you post this, because yesterday I just took a few of the male and female.
You have it in a tree which is perhaps the best way to describe how wood ducks are one of the only who nest and perch on trees.
Good colourings.

Asbed,

How nice to see a wood duck in its natural habitat. I've only seen them in water and never in a tree. Very nicely done.
BTW, thanks for your comments.

Best Regards,

Martin

Hi Asbed,

Excellent capture of male Wood Duck. Strange ducks to go so high in the tree. Nice composition, pose and colours. I made a workshop, hope you don't mind.

Hi Asbed

Great capture of the Male Wood Duck
Good POV and a nice pose of the Duck perching on the Tree.
Great colours and you have really captured the red eye well.
Nice light too

J'adore ces canards, ils sont superbes, vraiment. C'est une très belle photo, avec tous ces bourgeons tout autour, contre un ciel bleu, c'est la frénésie printanière qui émane! Superbe composition, tu as développé ton oeil, ton sens de la composition et ta sensibilité est toujours là. Félicitations!
