Redhead Pair

Liked that I got these two posing nicely together. The look on the drake's face is one of arrogant confidence. He seems to know he is a good looking duck. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2015.5) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

He does look pretty smug, Jerry.  Nice composition and you did a good job getting both of them sharp.

That look on his face is pretty unusual, at least from the ducks I've seen.  The pair looks very nice and sharp.

Cool capture of the pair, Jerry. The drake practically demands some kind of anthropomorphic reaction.
