The rare and endangered Red Banana Tree Duck*

The Red Banana Tree Duck (or RBTD as the naturalists call it) is extremely illusive and quite difficult to photography. Fortunately my camera came back in time from warranty repair or I would have missed this shot. I was very lucky to capture him in his natural habitat.

Please help protect this wonderful and endangered creature. Call 1-800-RED-DUCK today for your donation.

If you have access to Photoshop there's a one-click operation to tweak the levels, I think it would be helpful in this case. You can read more about the command here:

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't do much post processing on this photo except for a little cropping and lightening. If I'm a novice at digital photography my PS experience is even lower, so I have no idea how to remove the "fog".

Hi, Dorys... this is very cute... I like the animal and the banana plant (I would). If I may make one suggestion, in whatever image enhancement program you're using, click Auto-Levels, or Auto-Contrast, or set a black point to take the "fog" off the photo. Don
