    Default A Little 7D2 Wood Duck Flight

    Had a blast at the zoo yesterday with Miguel! We're working on a review of the 7D2, along with a comparison between the 7D2, 5D3, 1D4, and 1Dx. I'm really liking the 7D2 so far!

    Doug:

    Very nice, excellent angle in frame, full down wing position, clean view of head, like the alula popped up on far wing, smooth panned looking bg. Only minor wish would have been for a little more light on feet.

    How are you finding the lighter body balances with the big glass for hand holding?

    looks like you're having a good time with the 7d and it appears to be performing pretty well .What sweet looking frame of this drake Woodie. Love the flight angle and the wing position. The techs look great too. Very nice. Looking forward to your review too. See ya soon.

    love the pose and the golden BG, excellent wing position. I'd try to bring out more detail from the blacks and sharpen the duck just a tad more.

    Excellent details! the wood ducks are handsome bird!

    Wow that couldn't be much sharper could it! Lovely colours probably little light on the trailing edge of the bird and feet but I would try to lighten that area a little if that were possible.

    Hi Doug, no doubt you learn the new toys very quickly. Excellent flight pose with forward wing position, and overall well exposed on all the colours. Killer BG.
