This is one from the loch side at the weekend. To get closer to these birds, I was in amongst the reeds with a cam net over me. The weather was poor as usual, but hey, make the best of what you get.

I have always used Photoshop CC to process my images, including this one, I have just ordered DPP Guide from Arash, so, I will try that in the future, to see what difference it can make.

Wonderful shot Will. High IQ, tack focus and fine detail. I lke the composition and the water drop adds. Foreground black feathers seem softer than the white?

Great capture, William. Nice low POV, and fine feather detail. Love the beads of water on head, and of course the large falling drop. Well done.

Another amazing shot of this Merganser. Man do I envy you getting this shot. Details look perfect. So is the pose. I really like this.
