Beautiful Mandarin duck. We don't see many of these in our area. I love the way he is posing for you and seeing double is most interesting. The reflection is almost perfect. The tight crop brings him up close and personnel. Great color is the signature of this duck.

Photographers are like


I understand you posted this to piss people off, but look at this is Recognized !! You have managed to take an out of focus image to this level. I think that is impressive!

Wow yes very beautiful! Gorgeous Mandarin duck with amazing markings. Such beautiful intricate designer feathers at their best. Great colors. Great lighting and focus. The reflection adds a whole new dynamic. Really a stunning image. Beautifully captured by you!

A really beautiful duck with the most amazing colors. You captured a great reflection, and the angle is well done. All that being said the focus has lowered my rating. My guess would be you tried to crop your photo way too much trying for the closeup. Unfortunately the quality suffered. Other than that a awsome shot.

This would have been a 6 star phot if it was in focus. The colors of the duck and the reflection is stunning. The smaller photo looks a bit better in the focus. But the larger one is out.maybe this is the way it was downloaded.

Hi Super, I was so looking forward to seeing the larger image of this, but unfortunately it's out of focus. It would have been absolutely gorgeous! I love the duck, the angle, lighting and reflection, but the clarity takes away the true beauty of this shot. Sorry I have to give you a lower mark for that! :o) Nancy

The color range and lighting of the take are well balanced and contribute nicely to the overall eye appeal of your composition.

The water reflection adds lots of eye appeal and gives this take a fine initial visual impact.

The framing of this composition is not cluttered and speaks well of the subject matter.

However, the overall image is soft. The linear lines of the feathers, the beak and the eye are not as sharp as they could be.

Excellent colors ... Bob

This duck is gorgeous and its reflection is just as good. I really like the reds on the beak/bill, the blues, whites, earth colors and the whole. Thanks for sharing this beautiful creature. This would also have made a great reflections contest entry, among others.
