Hey Dank, Nicely done. EXP and detail in the darks right on. Love the bow wave and the detail in the very upper breast feathers. Did you get lucky with the end of the head reflection or did you write that ending?

You are achieving some really great working distances with this species! Excellent exposure control...it's difficult to not blow out that cheek patch on this species in this kind of light quality...I wonder about desaturating the intensity of the sky reflections/water colors just a bit here....
Another nice low profile diver shot. This hen dose look so sweet as she cruses along her way. The detail and exposure are killer! Well done, again Dan.
Hi Dan, you really nailed the shooting angle, were you in the water? Excellent detail on the head, sharp where it counts, and I do like the wave. I quite like the darker blues, they go well with the darker browns.
