Garganey

[Gene Herzberg]

This garganey, the third provincial record, showed up at Quidi Vidi lake in St. John's Newfoundland, stayed for a day and then moved to a marsh several km away but could then only be seen from a distance with a spotting scope.

Taken with a sony a700 and a sigma 500 mm f 4.5 lens at f 6.3, 1/1250 s, +0.3 exp comp.

nice exposure and good eye contact. might sharpen the eye just a tad. one thing i might wish for with this one is a lower capture angle. other than that, awesome!

Hi Gene,
A very fine capture indeed...I would take just a little off the top, to give more attention to your duck...It's a sweet image...I like it...agree on the selective sharpening of the eye...good show...:cool:

I like the many and varied shades of the color brown . . . and carried over into the water, too. Very nice. Just a little off the top . . .

Agree a little off the top Gene- nice work, like the water droplets.

Just the little of the top Really nice and one tough exposure Did very well with the whites and keeping shadow detail !!! Excellent !!!
