Another Steller's Eider from Barrow

[Matthew Studebaker]

Barrow, AK | June | Canon 1D4 | Canon 600mm f4 IS | I've been going back through my waterfowl files this week and found a bunch of goodies.

Gorgeous light, perfect exposure and warm colors. Love the water drops on this gorgeous bird.
Being sheerly nit-picky, but a couple degrees of head turn would've been nice. I'd move the bird a tad more to the left to get the head off-center.
I'll make it to Barrow some day :)

A goody indeed. Love the fine detail and of course that beautiful light.

Like the light and the low angle. The water in the FG and grass in the BG is great. Exposure is perfect. Great Image.

Hi Mathew,
great shot in beautiful light and simple good composition.Excellent detail and sharpness.
You should post images with an embedded color profile for serious critiques on color .
