i am sure this duck did not appreciate the paperatzi treatment. but she looked good perched on this fountain. alas i have a confession as regards the background i attempted to change it for something more natural than the mess that was there. so i hope it works as a whole.
keep snapping and thanks for looking.

Hello Sue,

I'm not such a fan of photos with flash, but I have to make an exception for this one. It has a very good sharpness wich is even more accentuated with that flash. Nice work with the change of the sky also.

friendly regards from Belgium,

Luc.

Hi Sue,
You did a good job in capturing this one. It is of great sharpness and colors. Good job too in changing the background.
greetings,
Joop!

Hi Sue
The flash provide good clarity and pop to the colors. I give you three cheers on the quality of the PP work on the BG. However, for some reason the BG does not look quite natural. I can't explain my reason.

The replacement you did with the background makes it look dreamy. Interesting effect. TFS. Karin

Hi Sue,

A nice close-up image of the ducks near the fountains, the details and colors of the ducks are clear and sharp. The subject is nicely frame. The light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.
