    The lighting on the central Duck makes it look 'The Chosen One'! Why is there little light on the others at that side? Did you have a special experience there, Rolf?

    It's how it was shot, no special treatment Catherine, perhaps it's just that the lighter feathers of the male catch the reflected light better, but makes the shot more interesting.
