I would definitely want to bring out the green color and the eye, even at the sake of it not being quite "natural".jpg




For me a decision to enhance a photograph is based on the answer to the question I ask myself, "Do I want this to look like what the camera recorded or what the scene or animal actually looks like?"

The decision is simple and guilt free




Some would choose a third option: "Let's make this duck look as good and attractive as possible." That's the one I was guarding against. But back to your point. The duck has a very black looking head, but in bright sun (as shot) I saw splashes of the green showing fairly well. So one could go either way without guilt. I don't want to make the green more saturated than it was.
