Cinnamon Teal Topside View

[Doug Brown]

Here's a shot from last year's Ducks Unlimited workshop that I did with Dave Salem. The Cinnamon Teal (not to mention the Blue-winged and Green-winged Teal) are usually in beautiful plumage during the workshop. I'm really looking forward to getting back to Southern California in January!

Spectacular topside flight image, Doug. Great positioning to have the light coming from top back direction bringing out the multitude of feather colors beautifully. Like how you've also captured the green iridescence. Wonderful detail overall.

Killer image of this beauty, Doug. Probably the best looking Duck in flight.

Beautiful topside view of this mature drake. The green Bg really sets him off well and the colors are awesome. Great job and I can't wait till January too. Gonna be a ton of fun!

Beautiful flight shot, excellent colours detail and sharpness .

[Colin Driscoll]

Wow, you got that one nicely!

Fits the theme beautifully, with a great topside view.

Just wondering of a subtle lightening of the head close to the beak would help, as the darkness causes the image to 'drift off' if that makes sense.

Hi Doug, excellent dorsal view, good DOF from wing tip to wing tip, and nice and sharp too. Gotta love that red eye. Well captured.

A beautiful duck.
Nothing to critique here. Duck is tack sharp, terrific topside view, great looking water.
Lovely,
Gail
