One of my last captures of 2018 a little over a week ago at Island Beach. Pretty choppy ocean under the Long-tail Ducks as they were diving for dinner. C&C welcome.
D500, nikon 500mm f4/G + 1.4 TC, 1/2500s, f 8.0, ISO 1250, Gitzo, Wimberley Gimbal head.
I really like the underwater tail that is clearly visible.
I also like the color of the water and the IQ.
Very nice and agree with a bit off the bottom and a bit more head turn would have been killer!

Looking nice Geoffrey. These ducks in their winter plumage look great. Because of the length of the tail on these birds it is sometimes awkward to find the right crop. I think you got the crop quite good here, but yes, I would take some from the bottom, making a more pano crop. Nice detail and yes to a better HA.
