Dancing Ducks

[Adhika Lie]

This is my first post in birdphotographers.net. I started taking pictures of birds recently and I found about this forum. This looks like the right place to begin learning.



Nikon D750 + Tamron 150-600 @ 460mm, f/6.3
"A female mallard, a blue-winged teal, and a male mallard danced in the morning as the world was begun"

Welcome Adhika! nice first pose, I like the three of them with their clear reflection. Nice light too. What's missing here is the right HA (aka head angle). Unfortunately none of them has any eye contact with the camera and thus doesn't make a strong connection to the viewer.

Be sure the checkout the ETL forum where the learning starts!

Thanks Ari! Thanks for the suggestion. You are right, none of these ducks made eye contacts with the viewers. I agree how it diminishes the connection to the audience which is a very important aspect of a photo. I will surely check out the ETL page!
