wood duck with reflection

Comment from Kendra Disilva
These ducks fascinate me. I've yet to see one.
I think a closer more detailed vibrant look would help because all the reflections in the water take away from this amazing duck.
It's a great catch of a beautiful creature.

Comment from Joan McKay
I love the wood duck. He shows up very well in this photograph. I do think your reflections are a good idea, but I think they need a little more work. The blue of the sky is very intense and could be lightened. The brown of the wood duck takes up far too much space. The duck's head is shown well in reflection but not the rest of him. However, it is still an interesting photo and your idea was novel.

Hi Fred,this is a gorgeous wood duck , very well photographed with good focus, the image is clear, exposure is well controlled,colors and tones appear natural, beautiful detail is easily seen on every part of the duck,I especially appreciate its red eye!, I love the reflections on the water of the duck,the blue sky and the clouds above. This is well composed with a good placement of the duck in this frame leaving plenty of room for him to move into. Well presented, best wishes to you in the contest!

Those reflections intriguing. They seem unusual. I assume the are distorted by something. You must have photographers luck, that you caught the duck in the blue spot and the reflection of is head also. The colors are brilliant, but look realistic. The bird is well placed into the frame. The photo is balanced.

Wow, what color. Yes, that's a great reflection. The focus is very sharp and you were able to get the catchlight in the eye. The composition is very nice, too. Good photo.

Comment from Artistic Chick
A two headed duck. Actually this duck is absolutely beautiful. I think we have wood ducks in the United States, but I have never seen a duck that has those exquisite colors. Upon zooming I am literally seeing: black, white, green, red, yellow, purple, orange, and a hint of blue at his lower back. I wish I had a way of showing this pic to my 83 year old dad. He has always loved birds and still has a few hummingbird feeders as well as a couple bird feeders that each contain food that attract different birds. They hang outside the big window in his livingroom. If you choose to email it to me, I promise to not reprint or use in any venue. Just to show my pops. My email is: artisticchick8@gmail.com

Outstanding visual impact. Focus is tack sharp on the duck , colors are spot-on. the reflection and the distortion of the sky surrounding the bird is very good. You could not replicate this if you wanted to. Well done.

I agree that the patterns on the water are an attractive element to the scene. You captured the colors of the duck very well and the reflection looks good.
