Harlequin Duck
I guess I'm in portrait mode. I went back to Barnegat Light this morning and got really lucky. There was a thin layer of clouds which helped a lot with the exposure of the whites. You can even see some texture.

This is terrific, Axel, perfect EXP, exc composition and sweet BG. What's not to like?
Axel:
A stunning duck, with lovely background, nice look back. Nice catch light in the eye. I wonder if the eye could be brightened just a bit to make the pupil more visible I don't know this duck well enough to know if that would look abnormal.
I love the cinnamon colored streaks.
You are on a roll Axel!

Just lovely. Whites and blacks are both great. BG is very beautiful too with the gradations of blue.
Excellent details and perfect exposure on a very difficult subject. Nice crop too.
Unique pose by this beautiful harlequin, full of interest. Great job, Axel.
Exposure looks great and the comp works!! Nice work!
Wow..super job by the super moderator, bang on colors, sharpness, BG, pose....thanks Axel
Beautiful duck with excellent detail and color. Nice job.
Sweet image. great background and excellent details.
Ditto all of the above. Just a superb image , crop, color, detail and exposure. Congratulations Axel.
I would love to stumble across one of these someday and if I do I hope I capture it half as well as this. Crop, pose, detail and exposure are spot on.
All looks preety great to me, BG, light, exposure, detail and pose, but what I loved them ost is the great DOF. COngratulations!
Thanks, Randy! I tried lightening the eye but it didn't look right.Originally Posted by Randy Stout
The best of this species I have ever seen, Axel. Wonderful composition--the lighting is superb.--details as good as they get. Congratulations!
