Mallard Chick Portrait

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

7D II & 100-400 II
1/1250
f/8
ISO 800
The close focus distance of the new 100-400 II really helped me get this almost macro image! Could have cloned out the white spot in the BG but left it in. Only minor PP work.

If you positioned yourself a little lower, you may have been able to eliminate the dark OOF patch coming out of the head.
Very nice close-up of this cutie.
If anything, I'd remove the small black speck near where the ear is. You cannot miss it.

Thanks for sharing Sanjeev!

Nice portrait shot with excellent details.

Hi Sanjeev, good fluffy detail on this little cutie, and a lovely close up of the beak. I agree with Akos on the darker area of the BG.

See you tuesday.
