Mallards_vMCB.JPG (Anas platyrhynchos)

Spotted some Mallards on a walk today, guess one was a little tired...

Took a first run at some photo editing in GIMP today, mainly brightness/contract/color balance, but also played with the noise reduction and sharpen. Would appreciate any feedback!
Scientific name
Anas platyrhynchos
Equipment used
Canon Powershot sx70 hs
Lovely colors and subjects. Good to see you posting in the gallery.

I use GIMP as well. In the early days, I shot JPEG and edited in GIMP. Did this for a few years and it worked well.

Nowadays I shoot RAW and edit using darktable. It's more labor intensive, but also more capable. It's not a must, just all about getting results that I want.

PM me if you have any questions.
