I posted an image of this duck previously here, but I felt like am3 needed to see more of this wondrous strange duck.

WoW... What a great shot!!! Very natural colors. Love the details of the feathers. I can imagine that one can see so much more details on the original photo since AM3 many times down grades the quality of the uploaded photos...

Hi E,
Thank you for your comment on my blog. I do not use particular light. The image was taken on stage during a concert...
À bientôt (it's better lovely in french ;-) )

Hi e., I just wanted to stop by to say a hearty WELCOME BACK!!! And thank you for your sweet message at mine. I'm sorry too that the timing on my side definitely hasn't been great either. Hope to be able to say hi a little more by the time late March swings along. Best of wishes to you in any case, and really, it is wonderful seeing you back. btw, must say I love this duck too! Absolutely brilliant colours.

It really is a great, vivid shot. I also thought it was 2 ducks at first, having a cuddle!

Remarkable how you captured him fanning out his feathers for you. It isn't easy to get this instant in time. The texture, colors and clarity are beautiful. Amazing the various colors under all of the layers. Great shot.
