Thank you for every C and C.

Finally some Mark IV images! A fast flier to track with 840mm; you did well Haim. Sharpness is good, as is the exposure. There is a cyan cast to the whites of the belly, possibly due to blue water beneath the bird. I do wish there was a little more detail in the eye, and I would move the bird slightly to the right in the frame.

Ditto Doug on all counts (cyan cast, eye, and subject placement all easy to fix), and I would add that I would have liked for a better position on the near wing. Good colours on this fella's bill, and I like the bit of light coming through the webbed foot - neat!

Ditto ditto. And yes to the cyan/blue cast (also in the sky). Sharp one of a very fast flying bird. Where in AK?

[Haim Ziv]

Thank you all.
I have been in Alaska with Robert Amoruso end of July 2010.
This one is from small birds island not far from Silver Salmon Creek.

[Arthur Morris]

Ah, Duck Island. From the boat or on land?

On land.
Thank you.

[Arthur Morris]

YAW. It can be a great spot. We did really well one day by taking the boat behind the island in the early afternoon.
