    Default Drake Wood duck

    I captured this handsome drake three or four years ago at a local park. I posted a frame with a different wing position a few years ago but I ran across the RAWs last week and played with processing a few more. I figured it's fitting for this months theme.

    1DMkIV---700mm---f6.3---ss1/3200th---ISO640---HH@3:45pm---25% crop

    Thanks as always for looking and for your input. I appreciate it.

    A beauty of a woodie flight shot. Great take-off position, lovely BG. The nice light and your processing have brought out the colors, head and wing, to perfection.

    Fantastic frame David. The colours on the bird are beautiful and the BG shows them off very well. Great HA and flight pose.

    Very well done.

    Just perfect. Love the take off pose, the details, exposure, the varied background and the slightly blurred wings. You are truly the DIF master.
