Sunday visit to Viera

[Nancy A Elwood]

Hi all. A few of us went to viera wetlands Sunday to see what was happening. The activity is picking up and there are quite a few GBH's setting up nests. Here is one of the few hooded mergansers. Taken with the D300 and Nikon 500 f4 and 1.4TC, f8,iso 640, 1/3200. All C&C's welcomed as always:).

[Dave Mills]

Beautiful Nancy. You captured the details in the whites and the blacks, Good wing position and framed nicely!

[Rod Wiley]

What a great photo, every thing about it is great.

[Nancy A Elwood]

Thanks Dave and Rod! Those white and blacks are a bit difficult to get all right, but I think it was because it was well early morning and the sun was at that right angle, but whatever, I was pleased with the results.

Beautiful bird and great pose captured. Although it looks fine as is, perhaps a slight warming to get some blue out of the crest would look nice as well.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Pose is outstanding as are the details and exposure. The great water color only adds to an already fine capture.
