Barrow's Goldeneye Pair

[Bonnie Block]

My little pair of Barrow's Goldeneye have returned to their local haunt for the winter. Alas, we in the Pacific Northwest are not blessed with very good light as of late--so this is the best I could do today before it started raining again, :( I have not been able to get real close to them yet--they are pretty skittish and this was taken from the shore. (and I forgot to change my camera back to RAW after I loaned it! ) Oh well!!;)

Great find and angle. The birds look a bit soft and I would tone down the highlights some more. I hope the weather over there will get better soon.

The white on the breast is still somewhat hot, but you have a nice image. At least it is sharp and closer than mine. Do hope you get some sunlight soon.

Agree with above on the techs. Got a couple of good head angles. Also agree that our weather sucks! Next week they say will be better, don't hold your breath:D.
