A really up close Male Bufflehead portrait.
Probably too close but a fun exercise as I was snowed in for 3 days in
Portland, Oregon of all places.

1/6400, iso800, f7.1, 600mm, D800, HH

Are these guys in your swimming pool? bathtub?
My goodness you are getting incredible closeups!
IQ rocks and am glad the tip of bill stayed in focus at 7.1. I would have thought you would have needed F10.

Nice close up here with good colours and exposure. I could see some selective sharpening to the areas of the forehead and between the eye and base of bill to get the fine details in there sharper. All else is A-1!

Agreed with comments above from Gail and Daniel. Great portrait. TFS. Loi

I love all of the colors on the Buffleheads's head. I would do a little sharpening to the face, but otherwise, amazing shot! :S3:
