Nice capture, very good detail & contrast. Good EV as the species isn't known in the U.S. outside the South. (It would be good if the article included a sound file of their waa-chooo call.) Sca (talk) 14:47, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Left edge has a column of white pixels. It looks over-saturated, too much red and blue perhaps!? Bammesk (talk) 00:51, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Well spotted. Not at home so cannot remove white pixels or adjust saturation till Sunday. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:22, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done new version uploaded. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:15, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To me the image, especially the water, looks over-saturated. Also compared to the original [1], the tail-shadow of the right duck has an extra length to it. Bammesk (talk) 15:45, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Still agree with Bammesk re over-saturation. Sca (talk) 00:39, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tail shadow error rectified. Well done in spotting it! Saturation reduced again, but I don't want to reduce it further. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:36, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, support – Looking somewhat less intense color-wise. Sca (talk) 15:59, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support – I wish there was more EV though, content in the article that related to a swimming flock. Bammesk (talk) 01:51, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
