The honker...

What were you expecting?

First attempt at wildlife.

Good composition, although it could be cropped just a little more.

Color balance and exposure seem to be on the mark, although I could stand the duck itself to be just a tad lighter. There is so much detail in those darker feathers that could be more stimulating.

Nice picture!
Congratulations!

Great colours and good exposure. It would have been really nice to have the whole reflection of the 'honker'.

That's the first thing I thought of when I was going through the shots. Makes me so mad. I guess it will come with time.

I wasn't sure about that. I did a separate pass on the goose for levels. Ended up crushing it just a hair to bring out some detail on his breast near the waterline. I may go back and see if I can figure out a gradient pass in CS2.

how pretty, i like this. the water looks really cool
