[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today I offer Ms. Mallard duck.She was sunning herself on a rock by a flood water canal.She saw me lurking about but was so very relaxed that my presence did not disturb her in the lest little bit.She is the same duck that I put up on Treklens as an experimental photo modification,just for the fun of it.I hope you can have a look at my experiment as it is something I enjoyed doing,I can be found on TL as the same user name(bobair).I hope you like Ms. Mallard.She was cropped and resized for TN using Paint.Net.

She looks very happy with herself Bob!

I like the low POV you offer.
The detail is good on the bird and the crop is effective.
I think however it is quite noisy in the dark areas, notably the background.

Well done. TFS

Hello Bob,
Beautiful portrait of Mrs Mallard sunning herself. Yesterday I saw exactly the same scene and took almost the same picture, just that yours is better.
Have a nice day

Hello again Bob,
I read my yesterday's critic again this morning and realized that the facility of a subject may vary from a person to another and must not be taken in count in a critic... So, I changed my mind today :) It is a great thing that we can edit our critics :) Like I said before, I think that it is not the best quality as I think that details could be sharper and this BG is noisy but this is a good POV and composition of this Mallard female. Only fools don't change their minds, so here it is :-) Have a good weekend! Thanks!

Hello Bob,
A very pleasant portrait!
I like the posture of the duck, excellent details and natural colours...
I like the tight framing, dynamic!
Greetings,
