Wings of the Teal

[Jackie Schuknecht]

I got up early this morning to head down to the lake. I was rewarded with some overcast clouds and some good lighting, High ISO so I had a lot of noise in the BG which I blurred. Went with the high ISO to freeze the wings. I really like the colour of the water. Added a tiny little catchlight in the eye.

Nicely done Lady Jackie,
I like the spread wing pose on your duck. He looks like he wants to dance...I like the pale blue of the water, and the colors and details on your subject...congrats...:cool:

Excellent capture Jackie. The details on the bird are wonderful and the colors in the water are awesome. I think I like the last re post best.
