Congratulations William Maroldo for your image "Female Wood Duck ll" being chosen as the Eager to Learn Spotlight Image for the week ending 12/24/2010!!!
Sony A850~Sony 70-400G@400mm~ISO1600~1/800sec~F5.6~manual exposure~HH~overcast~12-18-2010~Houston,Texas~CS5
Same small duck pond as last image, and same duck. The duck was swimming from shadows under a platform at one end of the pond. Probably haven't yet worked out the yellow cast problem mentioned with my last post.The idea that the light colored sand and pond bank contributed to the color cast in the last image is tested here, since it made no contribution with this image. It could be a question of white balance setting, and in any case could easily fixed in ACR if needed. I'm not real sure about the dark background either, though I like it. comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill
