Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

I like the complementary background and the overall sense of serenity in the image. I wish I had an image a second later when the duck had passed the reeds, but such was not the case.

Specific Feedback

Any thoughts appreciated.

Technical Details

Canon R5; 100-500 with 1.4 TC at 700 mm; 1/400 at f10; ISO 500

I love the color palettes you’ve been getting in your images lately, Allen. This is a superb example. It’s just a lovely image of this elegant duck.

Beautiful limited colour palette. Classic duck pose with a beautiful reflection.

I’m pleased the background reeds were captured as well.

Hi Allen, a very fine image with pleasing colors that compliment the duck so well. Inclusion of the reeds adds a good bit of interest IMO. Nice reflection and well composed with the duck in the foreground commanding our main attention.

Nice and clean image, coonveying a sense of peaceful wetland life… The different tones of brown create a very pleasant and subtle scenery. Very well seen and depicted!
