    Default Tufted Duck

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    I nipped out at lunch to try and grab a photo of some Tufted Ducks. Managed to photograph this at a reasonable distance. Processed in Camera Raw and PSE10. I cant decide whether it needs some slight CCW rotation, although I did straighten in Camera RAW.

    7D, 100-400mm, f6.3, ISO 320, !/500 SS +1ev, AWB. Comments always appreciated.

    Pretty nice duck, well exposed, with nice light and sharp eye. If anything I would crop some 25%-30% on top.

    Agree with Juan about little bit off from the top.

    Very sharp as posted, well exposed, and I like the colour and texture of the water. I'm inclined to say that yes it does need a tiny bit more CCW rotation.

    Thanks for all the constructive and positive comments. I think you're all right in that it needs a crop from the top and I will add a small amount of CCW rotation.

    Thanks again. It's really appreciated.
