This stunning male was competing with the fall colors on the water


Pretty much SOOC, cropped for composition.

Would love to know what you think of this.

Cheers,
Hayath

Pretty capture Hayath. The reflections sure have lots of color. Oh yes, there is a good looking duck in there too.

Fantastic colors, Hayath; woodies are almost unnatural!

You might consider a crop that placed the bird's head more to the left; as it is, there's almost too much of a competition between the colors in the water and the plumage.

Thank you everyone! This sure is a beautiful bird - and one which was on my wishlist for a very long time, hopefully the mandarin duck's next


You might consider a crop that placed the bird's head more to the left; as it is, there's almost too much of a competition between the colors in the water and the plumage.


Greg - This was the precise reason I chose this composition. Will revisit with a different crop as suggested


Bg is super. The whites appear a bit hot, Great play on the different colours. Don


Don - This was straight from RAW to FastStone and export JPEG, didn't have access to a better image editor to recover the higlights

Cheers,
Hayath
