I am still trying to get "the shot" of these common mergansers.
I went back after work yesterday afternoon in a light snowfall. Light wasn't great but this merganser hopped out of the water and stayed within full frame shooting range while he swallowed the fish.
1DX, 600mm and 1.4X
ISO 1600 F 6.3 @ 1/1600
PP: Small crop to 90% FF, levels, cloned out 2 snowflakes that intersected with the head and added nothing to the image, DE at 3% and USM at 40% ,0.3 pixels to duck.
Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,
Gail
