Pintail
Bad weather weekends for me has lead to a slow start, found some light this weekend long may it continue.
D850, 500mm f/4E + 1.4TC, 1/2500 at F/5.6, ISO 360, handheld in strong winds

Beautiful .I love those soft blues through the bird and then to the darker skies. Sharp too even at 5.6 from almost wing tip to wing tip.

Hi Tim, about as perfect as it gets. Lovely color pallette, detail, wing position and composition. Thank you for sharing.

Tim that is most definitely the most pleasing picture of a pintail I have ever seen - simply superb, wow that is beautiful 
The duck is just about perfect pose details colours DOF focus all very good indeed. I am also pleased to see that the background hasn't been hammered into oblivion by too much noise reduction, you have retained a hint of texture.

Hi Tim, Great banking angle, which in turn is showing off all the detail and colours. Good DOF for 5.6, and overall, nice and sharp. Killer G too. Well captured.

Great all around. Love dorsal flight frames like this. The two toned background is great as well. Love the flair to those feathers.

Oooh, this is excellent!! Perfect dorsal view, lots of good details, and the colours are just right. If anything, I would smooth out the two faint semi-circles at bottom right edge. But boy-oh-boy, one of the better duck-in-flight I've seen of late. Congrats!
-
A sweet frame of my favorite duck. Love the flight pose. Ditto all of the positive comments above.
-
Pretty much perfect! A frame to be proud of, Tim 
-
This is outstanding - action, eye-contact, exposure, and details all look great. A beautiful look at North America's most elegant duck! I might loose the blogs at bottom right as Daniel mentioned.
-
Excellent image. I like the flight posture, light and colors. Well done.

Spectacular capture, Tim. Absolutely one of the best images, and of one of the most beautiful ducks.
