Hi Asbed,

A beautiful close-up of the head of this

Hello Asbed, this is a great portrait of this male Wood Duck. The capture of that eye is excellent. You seem to have it unawares, with it providing you a good side portraiture. Colour and detail on the duck is very good.

Thanks, John

You have a special bond with the wood duck Asbed...and it shows in the number of images you take. Each one has it's own special angle and desirable colours...Very well seen my good Francophone friend from Quebec!
I want to share what I have been doing so Click Here:-)

Asbed,
You should try to do some red eye reduction on this guy. :) Very cool green and blue color on his head. Nice detail, pity that it's behind the rock that we couldn't see the whole image of it.
Cheers.

Hello Asbed. Excellently closed on this duck. the sharpness on the face is brilliant. Beautiful mugshot and thanks for sharing. Best regards. Jusni

Bellissimo ritratto, ottimi POV e composizione con l'anatra sorpresa in tutta la sua bellezza, spettacolare il vigile occhio rosso, buona nitidezza, molto belli i colori con i riflessi metallici. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hello Asbed,
I can understand why you like to photograph the Wood Duck. This close capture of the male shows the head and neck in full splendour. Superb sharp capture of the iridescent colours contrasting well against the dry sunlit forest floor BG.
The red ring round the eye shows well and forms a good focal point for the image.
TFS this beauty,
Ivan

Ahhh, tout y est , les couleurs sont sublimes, une belle lumière et un environnement naturel, cette photo a tout pour plaire, bravo Asbed
amicalement,
Pat
