Tufted Duck ♀

This time in action.

Canon EOS 1DMIV, Canon EF 600mm/4L IS II USM & 1.4x III, 1/1600 sec., f/7.1, ISO 800

Attachment 126970

Excellent dynamic pose. Love the low shooting angle and the eye contact. Very nice, Frank

Good job Frank, beautiful and dynamic image. Good techs and straight down the barrel eye contact (sorry about the "gun" analogy, maybe I should have said straight down the lens barrel:e3). It looks like he is conducting an orchestra, if you will forgive a momentary lapse into anthropomorphism. Very well done.

Beautiful symmetry and indeed a great dynamic pose. Maybe you could clean up the OOF debris from the water? Well done, Frank.

I like this hugging pose, Frank. Well done.

Wonderful Symmetry, very well timed shot and very little evidence of motion blur, all comes together nicely

I like it for all the reasons above. I think that folks are missing the fact that you did a really good job of processing this considering that the light is from the right....

Wonderful capture Frank...Love the direct stare with both eyes visible and nice wing position...

I like the head on look and the symmetry to this shot. Nice Frank!

Nice low shooting angle Frank.

Excellent shot with just the right degree of motion blur. And you did well with the light coming in from the left. Love the low intimate angle.

Hi Frank, both eyes stand out and well visible, so well done for positioning yourself, or the duck. :w3 Good symmetrical wing position, and I like the flying droplets. I also like the darker feeling to the overall image.

Great symmetrical position! Good low POV and nice light,
Gail
