Low light beauty

[dankearl]

The lowly Mallard is pretty attractive in low evening light....

Excellent image beautiful Mallard in beautiful lights. I like the spot light effect on dark BG and superb HA.
Great details in plumage.

Lovely image, Dan. I have a similar one, might post it tomorrow.

Hi Dan, lovely low angle here, and I do like the soft light. Your comp is perfect, and just wish she had turned her head slightly backwards towards you. It is a female isnt it ?

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Don't know if you ran any NR, but you've surely mastered high ISOs with this body. Terrific quality. I too think that the head needs to be turned our way a bit.

I think the Nikons handle the high ISO better than Canon. At least that's my impression.

Excellent image Dan, HA mentioned as not quite ideal, but besides that it is a very lovely low POV image with fabulous details.

TFS!

Aside from the head angle the bird is rendered well with high ISO and giving good detail. Nice work.
