Hi Akihisa,
What an original interpretation of Autumn in this presentation.
Beautiful fallen golden leaves immersed in the pond with a duck producing some ripples to agitate the clear water.
Beautiful sky reflection, thus creating an awesome capture.
Very well seen, my friend, and with your photographic ability you present to us such a natural beauty.
Have a good week end.
Regards,

Francis Xavier

Konnichiwa Akihisa-san!

Is this a surprise from you..? Indeed a autumn duck :)
A great capture of cute mallard with nice sharpness and from a great POV. The colors are perfect and water with autumn leaves gives nice charm to this work.

Very well done.

arigato,
Paras

Hello Akihisa
Beautiful yellows to show the Autumn season :)
Since ur shutter is 1/15 which is very very slow in the terms of handheld going to the focal length of 70mm (as u've not mentioned the use of tripod and a little had shake is quite visible)

Try a little angled composition placing the duck at right top ROTs heading to the lower left might give u an effective composition (IMHO)

TFS
Cheers

Bonjour Akihisa.
Une belle image animalière composée avec de belles couleurs chaudes d’automne.
L’oiseau et peut-être un peu trop centré mais cela n’enlève rien au charme de cette belle image.
Bonne journée.
Urs

Hello Akihisa,

A lovely autumnal shot with superb colours and the added interest of such a pleasing focal image. This duck, shovelling in the leaves, disturbing the water, is a delightful subject.
My suggestion for improvement would be to improve the composition by cropping, to place the duck in a strong place within the frame.

I have done a w/s to illustrate my thoughts. I hope you like it.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Sorry, run out of smilies, though this is worth it.

Hello, Akihisa -
I had to open this thumbnail before I really got the effect of the image - beautifully balanced light with the smooth reflection and fantastic colors below the water's surface. Lovely peaceful mood, which is one of the hallmarks of your work. Fantastic!

Wow! Beautiful scene here and it is the first time I have seen one of your wildlife shots! Considering the slow shutter speed of 1/15 sec you have done well to get a very sharp shot. The action, colours, and clarity are superb and well presented shot! Well done Akihisa and TFS!

regards,

Dilshan
