Redhead Duck

[Joe Senzatimore]

Out and about with Lloyd this PM before our NWPLI meeting. Found 2 co-operative pair of Redheads in some late light on some beautiful water.

800 ISO f8 at 1/2000th
Slight crop for comp. Almost full frame.

Joe, I like the angle and the sharpness. I might tone down the belly just a touch if it were mine.(probably the conversion). Water colors are intense. You did great getting him in w/ the full frame shot.:S3:

Joe,

Shadow/Highlight adjustment in PS using the highlight sliders would bring down the belly and wings just right.

Killer BG and great wing flap position combined with a good head turn.

[Grace Scalzo]

Super Joe. Love how the colors of the water match the colors in the duck. Wing position and flying water droplets are sweet.

[Greg Basco]

Joe, good suggestions on toning down the brightest parts. I think this is really nice with the pose of the bird and the colors in the water -- way cool!

Cheers,
Greg Basco

Very nice Joe. I like the wing-spread and colors in the image. I do agree with the belly being a tad too bright.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very appealing image that will be even better with the bright areas toned down. Good wingflap pose, and I love the deep colours to the water although I'm wondering if the cyans are a bit strong. What was the focal lenght used for this image?
