Blue-winged Teal Hen, wingflap

[Bill Dix]

One more from Cape May. I hesitated to post this, out of fear of the dreaded Head Angle Police. But I liked the blue on her wings enough to share it. Cloned out an oof duck in the BG.

Bill it took me a while on here to find out what the" HA" was all about, this one looks fine to me, like the raised wing pose and the uncluttered BG,would be pleased if it was mine.

I like it. I would title it, "The Composer."

[David Salem]

Nice wing flap pose with a good look at the pastel blues of the speculums. HA police noted by you:bg3:

This is a very pleasing wing flap image, and I do like the idea of "The Composer" for a title!

[John Cooper]

Lol - looks simply superb to me Bill. Love the outstretched wings you've captured here, and the matching blue tones of the water and wing work a treat. Love it!

[Bill Dix]

Thanks all. John, we're on the same page. I was thinking "All Together Now, Uh-one-an-uh..."

[John Robinson]

Looks ok to me Bill. Cloning out a duck !- oh dear !
I noticed the gentle blue on the wings too.
Nice one.

Hi Bill, perfect wing position for the wingflap, and love the visible blues on the near wing. Sharp where it counts, and I do like the colour of the water.

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Bill, you've outdone yourself with this one. The detail and blue in the wing feathers are just too good!

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very lovely indeed!
Nice light, subject and pose, just the perfect timing!

[Bill Dix]

Thanks everyone.
