Another image from the Biopark taken this past weekend. This place has been producing some great opportunities as of late, and I'm just happy to have been able to capture some of them. I was a little hesitant about this shot at first - it doesn't have that ideal, wings down position. But I'm a fan of the lifted feathers on the back, indicating separated flow over the duck, increasing drag, reducing speed ... getting ready for a smooth landing :)

Another cool looking duck shot Miguel. The unique pose is great and the raised feathers on the back as it hits the brakes is really nice. Exposure and detail look perfect. Nice one.
Nothing wrong with this wing position, in fact its quite dynamic. Techs, details, comp, colours all look good. There is a faint pale spot below the bill/chin that I would certainly remove.
Really beautiful shot Miguel, the pose is real nice but I think the shades of green all over and the detail in the checkered brown/black and the mix on the head is really fantastic, Grand work indeed.
