American Wigeon drake

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

40D. 400f5.6L at f/7.1. iso 400. 1/1000s.

Should I move the bird a little lowe rin the frame and include more of the nice BG. am not sure because of the pose.

Another low-angle masterpiece Kaustubh! Love the cocked head and slightly open bill. The pano crop looks good. I might bring up the dark areas just a little.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Man you're rocking this low angle stuff...The light, detail/IQ and colours you get are outstanding.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Take the theme trophy home KD, its should be yours :cheers:.. loved the pose captured..

[Jonathan Ashton]

It's a beautiful shot, great detail but i would be inclined to add a little to the top, I think it is just a little too large in the frame.

[Mikko Viljamaa]

Lovely angle with a lovely bird. I agree with Jonathan, to me the Wigeon is little too large. But the pano rocks for sure...

Fabulous low angle and colour. I would add a little on top though, I also agree with Jonathan. Excellent otherwise TFS:cheers:

[Nico Steenberg]

The low angle is a killer :eek: Subject is sharp and well exposed against a killer DOF. :cheers:

[Brendan Dozier]

Great low angle KD and what a unique looking pose. Crop looks good and great colors & details as usual. Agree w/ Doug about maybe trying to get some more detail out of blacks.

[Bill Dix]

Another killer low image for sure. I agree with Kiran: the trophy's yours. Beautiful bg, pose, detail. Maybe add just a tad on top and at the left.

[AlvanBuckley]

Great image with a beautiful low angle and background. I also recommend adding a little to the top.

Thx folks. I knew the crop had room for improvement. Here's the repost. also did some work on the eye and face. But could not get much out of the dark areas...so I have left them as-is.
