STACKED WOOD DUCK

[John Robinson]

Carolina Wood Duck
Not exactly captive but pretty "wild " Local park lake
Two stacked images
Focused on the head and then the beak tip. Took about two dozen images hand merged in PSP7 Took ages to find the right two Not perfect but a hard try !! Good fun though. Only ever managed a bird stack twice before
D200
Sigma 100-300mm
500 ISO 80th @5.6
Tripod
Crop from horizontaland resize/bi linear /re-sharpen in PSP7
Whites toned down a tad.
Thanks for woody comments

When I seen the title I thought you had went over the big pond , Nice looking image John, I like the pose and the puffed out chest. Maybe lighten it a wee bit? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Chris. I thought it an interesting excercise. Pretty easy with the duck side on but not quite so with it head on !!
Cheers
