Thx Rodger & Myssvictoria, the symmetrical effect is indeed too much easy ( i use it from ACDSee pro 6), i try not to use it too often, but it is right it gives some results i like.
Duck feathers are incredible it is hard to believe they are natural on a pic, in this pic i tried to keep the colors right and this isnt so easy because there are so many in a duck, here i wanted the brown and yellow not to be too much saturated but the green of the neck had to pop from its blue, so i didnt add as much contrast as i wished.
Winter and bad weather dont actualy help for colors but i find FZ 1000 already very good !
