Patricia, I like the cozy poses and the water colors are appealing for me. I'm seeing very little plumage detail and wonder if you've used noise reduction. Posting more of your techs (and a larger version) would really help us give more valuable feedback.

Ron. I posted the info you requested with the image above. Cropped and levels only. Don't ever use noise reduction and have major problems with the sharpness on large posts at NPN.

Patricia, gorgeous image of this Mallard pair. Superb light, nice colors, excellent "together" pose, perfect position in the frame, and a beautiful bg. The colors and texture in the water is outstanding. Well done.
