Hi Adrian,

Nice pict, but I think the sharpness is a little bit to much.

How remarkable that any creature should be so adorned as this drake! You have captured him very well and given us a wonderful example of the many colors, and detail in his plumage.
A fine composition Adrian, thank you.

This is a real beauty, Adrian. Plumage is incredibly rich. You've also got a very nice pose with the duck perhaps on his nicest profile. I like the way he looks quietly at you. Perfectly sharp subject on the right BG.

Very lovely composition here, Adrian. I really like those colors and how they contrast with the surroundings. I didn't know these ducks were herbivores. Thanks for the notes!

Adrian,
I enjoy this nice eye-level photograph. Good focus on the Mandarin Duck, they are very interesting birds. I never knew there was a term for sexually dimorphic, I appreciate your well written notes. Your OOF BG is perfect. The catch-light in the eyes is superb. Fine Work,
Scott

Exceptional colours on the Mandarin Duck Adrian!
Wonderful detail and composition. The background is nicely out of focus and brings all the attention toward this gorgeous duck. TFS Janice

hi adrian! haven't seen you in a long while!

I was looking at a couple of these living wild in Berlin last weekend. It's astonishing how pretty they are. So globalisation goes for ducks, too...
