Hi Geoffrey, handsome greater scaup in that icy cold water! I would suggest another round of sharpening most importantly the head/bill area and might try opening up the blacks there as well. Maybe a blue cast? Glad you survived the rocks!
I like that he his riding the crest of a small wavelet. With the sun relatively high in the sky part of the iris is in the shadow caused by the eyebrow ...
with love, artie
Nice you caught him on the top of that little wave. I like the pose.
Love the pose and the waves. Well captured under less than ideal lighting conditions. Ann's suggestions worth a try.
Thanks Ann, Artie, John, and Bill. I agree, it could use more sharpening.
