Lake Morton 2023_10_23--8447-Enhanced-NR-Edit.jpg

I captured this image at Lake Morton in Lakeland, Florida. Interesting fact about this bird, in Florida and the gulf coast this bird has brown eyes, in the rest of its range in has yellow eyes. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

While I like the attempt to reveal maximum detail, think you've dialed down too much because I'd like to see a bit more of the bird. I also think the feathers look the slightest bit crunchy. Granted, I'm looking at this on my laptop because I'm traveling (again), but I didn't notice the same issue when I viewed Steve's Wood Duck frame. I do like the attentive pose and the diffuse green BG.
