    This morning I found a pair of Teals skimming through the mud for food. I liked this photo of the male. Adjusted minimally in LR4.

    Lovely timing with the muddy drops leaving the bill and water ripples, nicely composed and also sits in the frame well.

    It does however need a CCW rotation as the water is running downhill to the right, and i think it could stand a little more sharpening on the head

    One of my favorite ducks! I like the feeding behaviour and the water action off the foot and bill. That white stripe on the side can be a toughie! A agree with Phil about rotation and sharpening.

    Agree with the above observations on sharpness Wendell.....but good timing.

    Great to see the whole body out of the water. The drop of water from the beak and the raised foot are nice features of the image.
    I hope that one day I'll be able to get close to one of these, beauties.
