    After a nap and a scratch this Hooded Merganser is getting ready to re-enter the pond.

    Minor rock clean-up, and a couple of specks in the water removed via patch tool.

    Canon 7D + 100-400L @400mm, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/640s., f/7.1, ISO 400 (settings histogram checked), natural light, handheld.

    Hi Daniel,
    I like the walking pose and the foot up.
    Nice painterly BG and I like the subtle vertical lines in the BG.
    The eye looks great with a nice catchlight.

    Hi Daniel,

    It looks ready for swim. Love it's curious eye, foot in the air, details, seamless blending of BG & FG and composition.

    Beauty shot, Daniel. I like the raised foot, head turn and the nice pleasant green background.
