    Default Synchronicity

    Mallard Pair, from South Cape May Meadows last week. I do wish for the near wing to be a bit more raised; but I like the juxtaposition of the two heads with both eyes showing.

    D500, 500PF + 1.4 TC, ISO 3200, 1/2500s @ f/8 manual.

    Hi Bill.
    I too, like the 2 heads. Something different- in a good way!
    I would sharpen the females' head a bit more.
    Water drops add.
    I am OK with the near wing position,
    Gail

    Pretty cool capture, Bill. Great to see both eyes, beaks, and feet. I also agree with Gail re the near wing.

    I try it get shots like this everyday... Outstanding, not that easy and does
    not occur as often as one might think where it is doable and possible with both sexes.

    Great positioning and timing with wings up and close enough for acceptable sharpness.

    Interesting with a good self-critique. But the juxtaposition does not work for me -- there needed to be more separation.

    Like the idea behind this one. Wish the male was more ahead of the female.
