Yes, this is one of our most beautiful dabbling ducks -- a Northern Pintail -- doing his thing. A half-dozen were feeding together . . . and though I got many exposures of them floating on top of the water, I thought this image captured their dabbling activity pretty well. However, after I came home and downloaded my images I decided I should have pictured the dabbling activity more from the side, which may have shown off the feather coloring a bit better. Comments, please?
I love it Wendell...this is too funny...:D you display excellent color rendition with fine, sharp details in the feathers and tail end...I like the color of the water...suggestion...convert this to a vertical crop, following the natural lines of your subject; and see how that looks to you...:cool:
Thanks, Alfred and Gus, I'll give vertical crop a try (it sounds right). And I did not even think of finishing a slide show with this thing, but I'll certainly do it . . . appreciate the suggestion.
I'm just dabbling
