Comment from kimartist
Exquisite. I just love the muted, Monet-like/Impressionistic colors and composition! Not sure about the black vignette, though. Seems a little "heavy" for such a light/pretty scene? Does it really need one? Or perhaps a white vignette would better serve? (I guess I'd have to see it done to decide, myself?) Vignette aside, this is truly lovely! :)

It actually did look good without it, but I found it bringing the duck more into focus. I really appreciate all your great comments and reviews. Much appreciated.
Comment from gidavidson
Nice sharp focus on this cute little one, good rule of thirds on the frame and a nice exposure showing details. A nice ID on the leg just in case they need a name for this one. Well done.

Comment from Tony B
Seriously, how many ducks do we see here n FAR, 100â??s right. At one point, they all started running together.
THIS is not a duck, it is, a work of art. Our subject, off centered and is in a unique position, one, we donâ??t often see. The lighting renders the colors like a brush stroke, your fading at the ends, killer.
Excellent!

Comment from filly421
I like the natural, untouched up look.
The colors of duck and backround are lovely..soft and subtle, and the pink legs and feet are an added bonus.The surrounding vignette works nicely here, rounding out the edges a bit.
Good exposure. Just enough to bring us and and not too much to overwhelm.
Focus is good, not oversharpened. And like the DOF.
nice point of view to show feathers and feet so well, and glad we got one eye.
He is placed well, both vertically and horizontally.
well done.

REally cute duck? I've never seen a duck with such long legs or those colors. But then I haven't been out of Iowa that often. I love all the different colors and that I can see his feet. Nice shot.

lmao.. it's funny you would say that.. I have been "told" about cropping off feet myself..lol.. To me it was just about the legs and feet cause our ducks here have super short legs..lol
