Default A Performing Duck

Hello again everyone. As some of you know ive been having lots of fun with cropping. I havent been able to get out with the camera this week so I went into the archives and I found this one. I did a little pp on it as well as the crop. I hope you like the result.

Thanks for taking a look.

Wheeeeee!!!


Dave.

Dave, you're getting very accomplished at that PP thing. Can I send some photos over to you to fix up? Nice capture and nice treatment.

Nice work, Dave. A great image on it's own and your PP work has enhanced it even more.

Beautiful Dancing Mallard! I'm in kind of the same boat Dave! I haven't been able to get out with the camera do to the weather here for almost 2 weeks. Yesterday I took around 100 shots of herons etc. came home and my Memory card had died. Oh well perhaps today.
Thanks for sharing this
Michael.
