Wood Ducks

[Ironwood]

First time I have seen these Ducks on my place, I was walking down to the shed to get some more beers, and I spotted them down by the creek.
Had to go back to the house and get the camera gear. Hopefully they will nest here.
Taken with the better beamer/flash because of the late afternoon shade.

Nice and sharp brad. The flash seems to have created a bit of an eye glow. Not sure if you can fix that up.

Cheers Todd. I like what the flash does for me, except for what it does to most eyes. I ussually fix it up in PP if it is bad, but was a bit pressed for time and just posted them as is.
If I get some spare time later, I will fix them and repost to compare with the original ones.

Nice shots Ironwood. I love the characters. We have plenty around our lake. They always strut around with their heads up high and look so dainty and refined. I just love them. Looking forward to the eye fixes (they have dark brown eyes). FYI, the male has the dark head.

Thanks Isac. I think these are our prettiest/handsomest duck, it’s always great to see them.

OK, here are the edits. Posted with the original on top for easy comparison.
