Picture-Perfect Landing

[Doug Brown]

I photographed this Wood Duck coming in for a landing the day after NANPA with Artie, Linda Robbins, and Gary Rouleau. The Albuquerque Zoo is a great place to photograph Woodies!

Perfect timing, Doug.

Great timing, details and pose. Does it need a bit CCW rotation?

[Ramon M. Casares]

[Doug Brown]

This is a slight crop Axel. I tried playing around with rotation, but like you, couldn't quite tell if rotation helped or not. So I posted it like this.

[Stu Bowie]

Superb timing for the touchdown, and you have exposed the colours perfectly. Well captured Doug.
