i think that you exagerated with that back-light effect....and i am supposing that this backlight effect was applied from a highlights tool!
and also by applying this sort of effect ,you remove the duck from its environement,from the background....it seems like it wants to get out of the frame of your picture!i am saying this because you have emphasized this brutal foreground tone of it and neglected the bluish background-the water!
also i think you've added too much noise reduction on its wing:( and thus there are no textures to recognise there anymore!
next time i would suggest taking it easy with this backlight tool,believe me...because in the begining i was using it too and my pics resulted like this and then i began realising that this unaesthetic 3d-highlight effect didn't quite work!
i would also ssuggest taking the original image and working with the colours and contrasts more! lighten just a bit those areas which u consider a bit darkened!
good luck to you!
cheers,
Andu

Thanks very much Ronald. I left the the other duck in for some depth. I wished the light had
been alittle better and yes a smaller aperture
Im sure would have help! I could have gone up
with the ISO but with these types of shots Ive
not had much luck with anything over 400....:(
Thanks again!
Paul

Wonderful shot. You caught "the moment". Congratulations. Since this ia a "CC" photo, all I can say is that there is something odd about the right wing, which I'm sure know. Maybe a faster exposure and smaller aperture would've done the trick. To split another hair or two, it would've also been nice had the duck on the bottom left of the picture gone home early. But these are the obvious things that will keep our feathered friend away from next year's Humane Society Calendar. Otherwise, it's really nice photo. Thanks for sharing it with us. Ronald.
