Another Wigeon drake

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Another one from Bolsa Chica from last December.
I have a few against darker backgrounds, but I enjoyed the non-competing plain water bg in this one.

Canon 1D4, 700mm
1/2500, f6.3, iso 800

All comment appreciated.
Thanks.

There is just nothing to say !!!!Absolutely perect in my view. People like you should be banned because you make my stuff look **** -- err rubbish !
Beautiful image. As some songwriter said "where do we go from here "!!

Like the wings-down pose, the sharpness and the pretty blue water. Whites are looking a little gray though; I might brighten things up a bit.

Thanks John :)

Thanks Doug. I'm on a new monitor that I've only visually calibrated. Will revisit.

I like the sharpness, details, BG and composition. Very well done Sidharth!

[David Salem]

Man Sid, you got some great waterfowl shots when you were down here. This one rocks! Not sure how it could get much better, maybe if he looked over at you and winked ;) The techs and details look great and the water is a pretty baby blue.
Perfect comp too. Great work.

Not the easiest of ducks to capture in flight, excellent job. Exposure is very nice.

Nice down wing position in great light, Sidharth.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Thank you all for viewing and commenting. I appreciate it.

Hi Sid, love the light, and you sure captured a great flight pose with the full downstroke of the near wing. I really like the earthy colours on this species, sharp, and I will take a water BG any day. Well captured.

Killer as noted above. My favorite things are the near wing position and the angled blue streaks in the BKGR.
