Crested Duck in Flight

[Rhys Marsh]

From a walk around Ushuaia after disembarking from the National Geographic Explorer. This is lightly cropped to get rid of some of the empty space to the right, above and below the bird as it seemed a little close to the left edge. PP includes only lightroom and dodging the eye.

Nice image here, the tail may be a bit too close to the border
I like the pose and the image seems to be from above the bird, nice one

nice top side view, duck is a bit too tight in the frame with tail fathers almost clipped. It also appears soft, it would be better to post larger for better viewing

Well caught, for mee too tight in the frame need more space behind, the very tight capture has given limited DOF, maybe brighten the head and bill a tad.
