    Default The Helmet

    Harlequin Ducks is one of my favorite duck species and I tried something different here. Artie might not be entirely happy with the head angle. :)

    How could Artie NOT love this image! If he gives you trouble about the head angle I'll give you the bail money!

    Beautiful and interesting image, Axel. It's a look we don't often see and it's so interesting on this particular duck. Great show!

    I like when folks try something very different. You've tried it and I believe successfully. Very creative!

    I think it's pretty darned nice, Axel. If it had the perfect HA, we'd never know just how beautiful the back of this duck's head really is. Nice detail and exposure too!

    On a serious note, especially on birds, sometimes angles from the top or back, show us more detail. Well done here Axel.
