Canvasback pre wingflap

This one was a lifer for me, although on this day I never quite could get him close enough for a full frame shot. I did manage to get a pre-wing flap frame, although it's a bit of heavy crop.

Miguel:

Nice to capture that fully stretched out neck, just before the flap. The eye is displaying well and nice job on the exposure. These guys can be quite a challenge in brighter light.

I like the angle in the frame.

Cheers

Looks good, not sure how much of a crop is a "heavy crop" for you but the details held up well. Neat pose with nice curves throughout. The gold and blue water looks great. An all around good frame...and a lifer makes it even more special!

My favorite diver and you did well capturing him. I like the pose and the good look at that blood red eye. Nice techs also. Well done Miguel
