    Default Gosling in water

    I took this over the weekend. The settings were -

    40D + Sigma 50-500mm @ 500mm
    1/500 sec, f/8 Mode: Av Metering: Evaluative Exp comp: 0 ISO: 400

    I was not sure if I should leave the reflection on the outermost ripples or not. Would appreciate your comments and feedback.

    Cuteness factor 10/10. I like the droplet hanging on the end of the beak. The light looks harsh, and a lower angle would have worked better.

    Hi Indranil, nice one...I'd leave the reflection as it looks interesting as it is. However I'd suggest a lower perspective next time as this will bring in more intimacy into your photograph as you'll sneak into their world.

    Thanks for the feedback. I do have some lower angle shots but any lower, I did not get the reflection.

    Hi Indranil. I agree with the above. This one is much sharper than the last image. You're getting there!

    Good comments from above. Next time, try to have the sun at your back. Sharpness is good, and I like the ripples.

    Looking forward to more!
