Long-tailed Duck

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I went to Barnegat Light yesterday morning and found quite a few long-tailed ducks, brants and harlequins. I guess this is what it looks like when the 'turbo' of this duck kicks in. :)

Looks good Axel! I like the pano crop and the splash. Exposure is perfect and so is your sharpness and eye contact.

Axel, Nice one! Maybe a bit more sharpening around the eye. Also I feel that with the males captures with the "tail" showing are extra nice. Great exposure! Bob

What a beautiful red eye. Nice exposure on the whites. Lovely capture.

Nice head turn and good exposure, the water drops ad a lot to the image, very nice, I would try a less tighter crop. Congratulations!
