Shot in Nd slough on a clear morning with no fog. Processed with Dpp 4,Photoshop Neat image background only.Pretty happy with overall processing just wish I could have gotten more out of the yellows on the head. Comments and critiques appreciated.

Great view of that red eye. Love the colors in this frame from the bird to the water.

Kevin:

Vivid colors, like the bow wake, good POV, drops on feathers, all good.

Very nice capture of a lovely fellow.

Cheers

Kevin, a gorgeous frame!

Is the yellow in the ear area a little hot or is that how it was in the field? The exposure on the rest of the bird looks great so I presume it's perfectly fine.

sweet shot kevin like the other one, the head area is a bit hot / over exposed as Brian mentioned. it looks flat, wondering if it was over exposed?

Love the water, the light, the colors and detail. Like the last, a beautiful canvas overall. TFS

The yellows on the head read 255 but no blinklies. Rest of the bird was exposed correctly. Even when I have no info in the last box and well underexposed the yellows are still hot in most of the frames if the sun is out at all. I have been trying to underexpose just to keep the yellow from being so hot. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
