Ring-necked Duck (hen)

[Bill Dix]

A sequel to my post of yesterday, taken at Lake Morton about a half hour after the image of the drake.

D500, Sigma 150-600C @ 550mm, ISO 2000, 1/1000s @ f/6.3 manual.

Nice view of this female. Like the pose and the painterly water.

What a beauty. Love the colors and details. TFS

I think I saw this same pair when we were at Lake Morton!
Good POV (but lower would be even better!). Nice details.
I would paint in the white areas (with a bit of green at an opacity of 30%) in the water in front of the bird.
I would also clone out the little 4-5 white spots in the water in front of the hen.

Nice Bill, details on the duck look great.Do agree with Gail some of the highlights on the water are a bit distracting.
