As well as?? This is pretty much straight out of camera, I tend to shoot under exposed, so i slightly adjusted the exposure and luminosity to how the pic looked to me when i took it!
thats not to say i dont photoshop photos, you bet i do, i figure the camera adds 10 lbs so i take it off (if i like you) with a little GST! But i aint got the time or inclination to photoshop a duck at all, let alone its eye colour! so short answer, yes the ducks eye is red! |
Is the water really pink or are you messing with my mind? |
its pink!!

sorry i thought you were having a crack at me! but FYI if i photoshopped something like this, id turn the sky pink like a sunset!! thats more believable!!
The pink and blue in my pic are nice and bright because i had a circular polarizer on my lens, which is like a pair of sunglasses, and i had the dark part dialled to the top to stop the bright sun glare. if you take shots in bright sunlight at midday without a polarizer the sky blows out to pale blue/white, its basically like wearing a pair of polarizing sunglasses. cheers

It looks like a female chestnut teal. Their eyes are that colour naturally although they may have been reddened up a bit by reflection off the pink water.

You really do take spectacular pictures. You should consider making this more than a hobby (assuming that i am correct on that assumption). You capture the spirit of the contest so well. Age/Sun/magazines would do well to get you working for them.

Cheers mate, Thankyou, high praise indeed. I am thinking of entering some competitions soon, and lve had a few offers of paid work, but then that’s what it is, work! I just love it! It gives me so much pleasure, if I shoot for an hour or two and get one great shot I’m happy! I just finished sorting and editing 400 pelican shots I took in just one hour recently, it was hard to cull because most were so sharp! And I love pelicans! It just really made me happy! Thanks again. Xx

This (the left 40%) I think is the best footy shot.
On paid work, TP, if you want to work without working, mightn't freelancing be a good option? |
