    Default Long-tailed Duck + re-edit



    Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
    D300, 200-400 VR
    1/1000s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso200

    Hand held, natural light, 70% of full frame

    Not happy about the bg, a little too bold., but a good sunny day with no waves is very hard to come by up here in the winter., I originally did this in a vertical crop, but decided to try a horizontal this time., hope you like it.

    a second crack at the levels, per suggestions...



    slight crop, levels, and a touch of sharpening.

    Great banking pose, details and eye contact. I don't mind the BG but the image could go a bit brighter for my taste and I might crop a bit off the left side.

    Nicely done, Ray, love the top banking pose. Agree it could go a little brighter :)

    Hi Ray,
    Great symmetry in this pose and the head turn/eye contact is good. The BG is a little dark but a little tweak with H/S and reduction of contrast made a nice little difference on my monitor.

    Hi Ray,

    Excellent panning technique. I have to agree with Fab. The composition works well for me.
