Hi all

Here is a shot of a Wigeon. Not the easiest duck to get close to so I was pretty happy with this shot. Please feel free to comment (C&C).

Beautiful looking bird Sindri and not one I am likely to see anytime soon. Wonderful detail in the feathers. Very nice!

Very nice shot. We have Wigeons (American) here, but they don't look as
good as the ones you have there. Good work.

Simply beautiful shot Sindri, the Wigeon is a beautiful duck a nice change from the mallards. The background looks lovely in this shot, well done.

Awesome Photo of a very shy bird, Sindri. And you've captured him in his habitat too. Well done!
I saw a couple of them last year but there was no way to get near them. Extremely shy.

Hi Sindri,
Good colors and sharp,I like the details on his back feathers,
IMHO the OOF Background is a little distracting. but at the same time it is nice to see natural environmental .
Also I see some small signs of over sharpening under his beak and neck.
Regards,
Clare
