Tufted Duck

[Simon Wantling]

I nipped out at lunch to try and grab a photo of some Tufted Ducks. Managed to photograph this at a reasonable distance. Processed in Camera Raw and PSE10. I cant decide whether it needs some slight CCW rotation, although I did straighten in Camera RAW.

7D, 100-400mm, f6.3, ISO 320, !/500 SS +1ev, AWB. Comments always appreciated.

Pretty nice duck, well exposed, with nice light and sharp eye. If anything I would crop some 25%-30% on top.

Wonderful image of beautiful duck,we also call him as "Golden Eye".Love the pose with great details,lovely lights and beautiful water.
Agree with Juan about little bit off from the top.

Very sharp as posted, well exposed, and I like the colour and texture of the water. I'm inclined to say that yes it does need a tiny bit more CCW rotation.

Thanks for all the constructive and positive comments. I think you're all right in that it needs a crop from the top and I will add a small amount of CCW rotation.

Thanks again. It's really appreciated.
