Pintail

The pintails are starting to stick around in a local shallow saltwater bay. There are still some fall colors out there. :)

A classic duck take-off pose :-) Looks like it may have been a heavy-ish crop?

I think that the pano crop works perfectly in this case. the composition is very good and I love the BG, the action and the light. On the other hand the image quality could be better if you add a round of noise reduction.

I love the burst and the crop. Maybe dial back the contrast a wee bit?
