hello, this morning and in the last days
i have done alot images of perched Wood Ducks

here it is one of them, « The couple of Wood Ducks »

from the Hinterland Who's Who website :

http://www.ffdp.ca/hww2.asp?id=80&cid=7

« Wood Ducks are intermediate in size, between
the Mallard and Blue-winged Teal; on average,
males weigh 680 g and females weigh 460 g.
From a distance, the male Wood Duck on the water
appears as a dark-bodied, dark-breasted,
light-flanked duck with a striped crested head
and a light-coloured throat. At close range,
its iridescent plumage, red eyes, and black, red,
and white bill are conspicuous. A white eye-ring,
light-coloured throat, and fine crest distinguish
the female from both the male Wood Duck and females
of other species. Both sexes usually show a downward
pointing crest at the back of the head, and their long
broad square tails are distinctive features in flight. »

thanks for viewing and critiques

Hola Asbed.
Maravilla de foto al lograr a la pareja de Patos en una misma imagen y posados en un mismo arbol, el azul del cielo le da mas valor a la presentacion.
Saludos Asbed.

Hello Asbed,
Very nice composition with both sexes in the same image. Focus, exposure and depth of field are all great. Thanks Asbed

Whenever I hear the word hinterland I think of Germans and brew/suds/ale etc....I hope I do not disturb your sensitivity. I am a beer drinker myself so the word came from my fathers side. I do know that it comes from being near a riverside or some such and that of course makes all the sense in the world...however the ducks in the tree? That is another story..Perhaps hiding..oh tomorrow is opening fishing day here in Washington State...so rivers will be the place for me NOT to be..too many beer drinkers and too many macho men...you might have heard of this phenomenon. It is pure American and hence I stay away..Fine image sir!

Asbed,

It looks like you are becoming the wood duck expert! Thanks for sharing all those great images. It is fascinating to be able to see them in their natural habitat.
This is a very nice picture, with excellent sharpness, colors and DOF. Of course, having a pair of wood ducks in one picture helps as well! Very nicely done.

Best Regards,

Martin

Hello Asbed

Once again a lovely pov. The pose you have captured is very good,the ducks in the trees show well.
Seeing the female like that is very interesting,because ducks perched in trees is unusual,it must be difficult with webbed feet.
Lovely colours and lighting.
Great job.
TFS

Rob

Hello Asbed,

now the couple together, they are both sharp.
Beautiful colors with the blue sky as BG.
Are they stay together for life as a pair?

Immagine di grande dinamismo per le linee dei rami e per le azioni delle anatre, ottimo POV, molto buona la nitidezza, quasi troppo contrastata, molto belli i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Lovely shot of this pair. Nice to see both the male and the female. Nicely composed and sharp. I like the way the female looks about to leap.
