Newbie - Duck

[chrisfu1004]

Hi all,
I'm a complete newbie to photography and DSLR but have to say I'm completely hooked... been spending most of my office time reading forums like this and playing around with my new 400D... I only have the kit lense at the moment and am waiting for my next pay cheque for a upgrade...

Please feel free to give any comment / advise / criticism

You have a very colorful duck to use as a subject, but the very unappealing background takes over the image. Zoom in on the duck and showcase those great colors and texture. Welcome to POTN...nice duck...keep sharing!

Thanks! I have to agree the background wasn't my main concern as I was afraid the duck was gonna move away... and all the cr@p at the background does ruined it completely... hee hee... bit of post processing to get rid of them me thinks....
