Nice colors on this beautiful bird. I beleive it is a Mandarin Duck not a wood duck.

Aix galericulata (Mandarin Duck)is an Asian species. Where was this shot taken?

 

My attempt at adjustments recomended by Alan and Martin.

Alan and Martin. Thank-you for taking the time to comment. I see what you are saying.

I was pleased with the way this came out. Any comments welcome. Just

got my first DSLR in Dec 2009. Thanks for looking.

I shot this with my new Canon 7d and new Sigma 120-400mm. I am happy with this new equipment. Still so much to learn. Comments welcome

I really like this shot. The lighting and background are very nice. Good capture.

 

Gordon

Fantastic shot. I love the colors. Great what else is there to say.

 

Gordon

Great image. I like the composition. The colors are wonderful. The only area for improvement I see is the possibility of cloning out the 1 bird that is just right of the 3 tallest ornimental grasses. It is possitioned such that it looks like a blob rather than a bird. This is a great shot. Congrats

Great pose and wonderful shot.

Gordon

I really like the lighting and the protraial of motion very well done

 

Gordon

I like the angle you have used to present this moment. Good clarity and DOF. One question What is the blueish area under the wings on the right of the photo? Nice job

Gordon

Great clarity and detail. I also like the background coloration. Nice job. Some of our planets creatures are strange indeed when you look at them close-up.

I liked the pose this gal was in and the pollen on her behind. Let me

know what you think. I do not have PS or other editing software. This

image is Just croped. Thanks for looking.

Nice catch. Good timing and I like the control on the DOF
