    Default Marbled Duck & Coot

    This Marbled Duck got a bit too close to the Coot, they don't mess about when they have chicks Another one from Mallorca.

    Joe:

    Very nice action, sharp, well exposed. I might tone down the luminosity just a sliver. My first choice would be to run a multiply mode blend layer at 20% or so, and see what you think.

    Cheers

    Excellent behavior captured and an excellent job getting the exposure right with the dark coot feathers and the whites on the duck.
    Luminosity looks fine on my screen.
