American Wigeon

Here's another American Wigeon flight photo from a small pond in Albuquerque. Surprisingly cooperative birds!

Very nice capture

Hi Dougn again no nits from me here and just love the presentation of this beautiful bird. Eye contact, wing position, and certainly the clarity, beautifully done.

Cool pose, details and BG. Maybe a bit more room at the left?

[Maxis Gamez]

Extremely sharp and excellent wings position. Good capture but I already told you that!!

Keep up the good work!

[Art Kornienko]

Pretty stunning Doug, the sharpness is outstanding, and hand held too. BG colours are very nice and make the bird pop even more.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Great pose and light, terrific BG and exposure! Very nice! Big congrats!

Hey Doug,
Wing position and DOF fall off make this one for me. Room is fine also for my tastes.......I may even take some off the top........but you do remember that someone calls me Mr. too tight.......so leave it as is! Nicely done!

Outstanding position, BG, and detail. A bit more room in front of the duck would make this excellent image even a bit nicer.
