Tufted Duck

[Bill Dix]

Braving the choppy waters of Lake Myvatn on a snowy, windy day. Flat, dim light.

D500, Sigma 150-600C @ 500mm, ISO 1600, 1/3200s @ f/6.3 manual.

Bill, great job braving the elements, this duck looks similar to a Greater Scaup. That glowing eye really draws your attention, nice.

This is an interesting monochrome study with the only color being that piercing eye. Good shot.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Ah that famous duck swimming away but looking back pose. Perhaps a touch dark overall, but as Colin mentions, that yellow eye pops nicely against an otherwise monochromatic look.

[John Mack]

The blacks looks heavy but they make that yellow eye pop very nicely. Composition is right on.

I like the dark stormy look although I would clean up the white spots (snowflakes?) in the BG.

Thank you all.
