Lady Surf Scoter

Nikon D70s 1/640 f2.8 190mm ISO400

Taken from a bridge last week at Bolsa Chica Wetlands, CA, in early morning. The Scoters were diving for clams/mussels. Though I got some pretty good pics of them with their food, I thought this was my best pic of a female. My first post, and I'd appreciate all criticism/suggestions.

Welcome, Wendell. Exposure and sharpness look pretty good. You might try to get a lower angle if that is possible. Keep them coming.

[Daniel Cadieux]

The pose looks good, and I like the many ripples in the water. The angle is just too steep downward, but I realize it might have been difficult to get a lower from a bridge ;-)

[Stephen Stephen]

A nice capture exposure wise. The angle nit has already been noted.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Very striking looking duck and excellent exposure and pose Wendell. As already mentioned a lower angle would be more desirable if possible. Thanks for sharing !!
