G'day Isac
Colours are great - any way to tone down the FG - near BG ... it's a bit bright

Unusual colouring for a Wood Duck Isac - perhaps it's due to bright direct sunlight. You don't normally see the broad stripes on the wings but see a fine wavy stripe pattern.
The only similar shot I could find is this one from eBird https://ebird.org/species/manduc1?siteLanguage=en_AU
Good colours and nice pose too, but I'm not convinced about the background what was wrong with the original.

Thanks for that Alan. I just thought wood duck because of the head colour and shape. I didn't even look at the body
I'll have to check with the experts to see what species it actually is. It may be a hybrid of some sort.
The grass was green so I did a selective colour just with the duck. I liked how the grass looked a bit like snow, so I left it mono toned.

Beautiful duck. The background in the original image is preferred IMO.Fujifilm X-T5, XF10-24MM, XF16-80 f/4, XF70-300 f/4-5.6, XF23 f/2, XF35 f/2, XF150-600 f/5.6-8, and a random assortment of 35mm and 120 film cameras.

Thanks Alan. The last time I remember "getting down" was not a pleasant experience, so I no longer practice it. There's probably lots that can be done to create something different and it's all subjective. I just love to play with this stuff to see what I can come up with that's a bit out of left field. Thanks for commenting, it's appreciated.
