    Taken in 2009 but never processed before.
    Full frame, no chance to modify.
    Thanks for looking.

    Canon 1D Mark III
    Canon 500 f4.0 L IS
    ISO 320
    1/800 S
    f 9.0
    HH
    (My setting today would be totally different; higher ISO, higher shutter speed like 1/2500 s and bigger aperture maybe f5.6)

    Karl:

    Lots of action here! Handsome duck.

    For me, one of the challenges of bathing pictures is getting lucky to have a clear view of the eye when there is water everywhere. You might be able to do a bit of eye doctor work to make the eye more distinct.

    It is interesting when looking back at our older pictures, how some of our techniques have changed so much, re: settings and strategies.

    Cheers

    Thanks, Randy. I was thinking about sharpening the whole image already.
    Based on your suggestion, I did some eye doctoring by using linear dodge and linear burn selectively, and then I sharpened the whole image.
    Here it is.
