    Hope people are not getting tired of Pintails. This will probably be the last one for awhile. Also taken at Bosque Del Apache WR.

    Not tired at all, they are beautiful birds. Super focus and DOF, you have a good pose and the little water droplets too. the only thing that's missing for me is a little vibrance to inject a little life, it looks a tad flat to me.

    Man, you are crushing these NOPI! Setting, pose, and lighting are all great. I do agree with Jon that the frame is a bit flat. I't just doesn't crack the way it should in those conditions. The BG also seems a bit noisy. But all this stuff can be sorted
    out in the computer since the upstream capture looks so good.

    I may be old and no longer see such good but this looks quite excellent to me. No noise evident to me as well. If you twisted my arm I might complain about the gray/gold line intersecting with the bird.

    with love, artie
