A really up close Male Bufflehead portrait.
Probably too close but a fun exercise as I was snowed in for 3 days in
Portland, Oregon of all places.

Are these guys in your swimming pool? bathtub?
My goodness you are getting incredible closeups!
IQ rocks and am glad the tip of bill stayed in focus at 7.1. I would have thought you would have needed F10.

Nice close up here with good colours and exposure. I could see some selective sharpening to the areas of the forehead and between the eye and base of bill to get the fine details in there sharper. All else is A-1!

Agreed with comments above from Gail and Daniel. Great portrait. TFS. Loi
I love all of the colors on the Buffleheads's head. I would do a little sharpening to the face, but otherwise, amazing shot!![]()
