Common Goldeneye

I am usually a fan of tighter crops - but I liked the calmness and color of the water in this image.

Glen, Yes, I agree one the crop here being perfect! Thanks for the GE post - I don't want to rush Winter but these guys spend it here on the Maine coast and make me work hard for every capture!! Bob

I'm in total agreement with you about the crop Glenn. Nicely done! I might darken the pupil a bit.

Beautiful crop and lighting in this image. The low angle and great color in the water and BG really makes this image for me. Nice work Glenn !!

Hi Glenn,
Nice soft, detailed image and good capture of the sheen of the head. I agree with Doug on the pupil. I might lower the sat on the blue streak a bit as it contrasts too much with the golden/green hue of the water.
