Looks like he is having a great time. Lots of action in this one and I like the water splashing against the green BG. Looks like the light was subdued, which is good for this shot, but it looks like some of the wing is a bit hot. Not a big deal as you needed to overexpose to get some details in the dark head, so good job.
Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You. www.davidsalemphotography.com
Pretty cool action. This duck is looking rather serious for what appears to be fun behaviour! I love the splashing water, and especially the large drop bouncing up in lower left corner. I'd have preferred more room for the comp, and perhaps another round of sharpening for the face feathers.
