    Default Pintail

    I found a relatively coperative group of Pintails this weekend. I am used to them being very shy so I was pleased to be able to capture a few images. This was early morning. Crop for comp and basic LR edit. Manual mode, 1/2000, f6.3, auto ISO-320, 700mm, 500 f4E FL + 1.4III, D500. cc

    Like the colors and exposure. I would try to shadow the rest of the lower wing in PS to even things out and not draw the eye.

    Thanks for the feedback Joe - Raised the dark wing and lowered the wing tip.

    Nicely caught well focused and exposed. The slight shadow doesn't trouble me but I can understand why many would try to even it out.
    I like the background with the trees at the base.
