Mandarin Duck - The most beautifull in the world.

I took it low level and wide aperature to get the DOF shallow. 300mm

at f2.8.

Beautiful colours and beautiful image. Well done.

A very sharp and neat image. A wonderful bird and great photo. Congrats...

Hi Necip,

 

I was wondering is that anything like Peking Duck? :-)

 

Check my version of the photo.

I reduced the exposure a little, adjusted the levels in PS and uped the saturation a fraction.

 

But, I agree its a beautiful bird.

 

Cheers Peter

Thanks for the kind comments. Peter I appretiate your attempts on the saturation looks good and colour is really striking, I try to keep the shots natural looking and keep as much detail as possible. But I'm getting more interested in the P.P. look since joining this site, thanks very much rgds Necip.

excellent

Excellent again

Obviously images of ducks are not original but this image brings out the colouring of the duck so that you have to take a closer look.

A good photo.

Gorgeous image of a gorgeous bird! You got a great, low angle and did a great job with exposure!

 

Hope to see more.

 

Best,

 

Chris
