Barrow's Goldeneye pair

[Bonnie Block]

I took advantage today of the light and the fact that I had both species of Goldeneye to choose from at my local bay.
Not the easiest of birds to get right--but this is coming the closest of what I have right now.

Beautiful work Bonnie !!! Love the fact that you were able to capture both in wonderful lighting and with a great head turn and expression. Well framed with excellent exposure. too. Many thanks for sharing this lovely capture Bonnie.

[Dave Phillips]

wow Bonnie, I know you worked to get that DOF for 2 at 600mm....quite a pair

[Arthur Morris]

Hey Bonnie, Very well done. Wish for just a bit more room below the reflection (but I know how hard that is when working with the 2X). Later and love, artie

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great to have both sharp and I like the serene mood, details and exposure control.

[Maxis Gamez]

A very nice family image. Love the reflection and exposure. Good work!

[James Salywoda]

Stunning image Bonnie both ducks look very sharp nice seperation between the two and probably one of the best duck pair shot I've seen. Excellent Job!!!!!

[Steve Maxson]

You're kidding me! This has got to be a Duck Stamp painting instead of a photo. :) Great job.

[Robert D. Gregg]

I agree with Steve, "A Duck Stamp image" :)

Keep up the great work.
