Pochard (2)

[David Cowling]

The focus seems better on this shot. Must have been operator error or my imagination on my previous Pochard post. I am also getting the hang of DPP4 and liking it a lot.

David:

Sharp, nicely exposed, excellent eye/head colors. Good choice on the f/stop to give enough dof since he is angled in the frame.

Even though he is angled away, I think he needs a bit of CW rotation, based on the circular ripples around him.

Hi David - you did well with the 100-400 and tc. Sweet light and colors. Good suggestion by Randy.

TFS,

Definitely sharper than the previous image..
I agree re: some rotation.

Yep, rotation needed, but I love the details and colours...those blues and reds look really good together. Good light too.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the pose, light, sharpness and composition. Rotation mentioned. Nice image David.

[John Hackney]

Very sharp shot and well captured. I see the rotation need also.
