I was out at the local loch this morning only to discover that most of it was covered in ice. I managed to get a few flight shots as the ducks flew over the ice. Thanks for having a look
Hi William, well exposed on the whites, and the near underwing, and great that we can see a hint of the purple sheen at the front of his head. Great eye, stands out nicely. I only wish for a better wing position.
Good and sharp I like the near wing the far wing slightly less than ideal. The eye and bill very good, I too wonder about a tad more lift to the neck area.

I processed this image using DPP and ACR and in this particular case I much preferred the ACR version.
I know some may not like the feather..... but I did! I used the spot healing brush to remove many OOF feathers, but in my defence I cannot recall ever seeing a duck on ice without seeing at least one feather!
All C&C welcome.
