The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

This is the first year I’ve ever managed to gt these close enough for a good image and manage the whites to get nice detail. Other than that and a good reflection, nothing special about the image except personal satisfaction.

Specific Feedback

Anything.

Technical Details

Sony A1, FE 200-600 + 1.4 TC @ 840 mm, f/9, 1/1600, iso 5000. Don’t recall much about the processing at this point.

Personal satisfaction well deserved! That reflection is great, and the longer i look there are more interesting features about the duck as well. The colors in the neck and head are really awesome.

Dennis: A beautiful subject and a marvelous capture. Besides the terrific rendering of the whites I also like the subtle color gradations in the head and the movement of the water. Really nice work. >=))>

The reflection is a clear 11/10 – and a wonderful composition and pose – but I wonder about more detail in both the whites and darks.

Very fine shot, Dennis.

Floating right through my screen, just lovely!
