Nice composition and lighting. Always pays to switch gears!!

Nice Muscovy Al! Really nice light and I love the pano crop. Looks like she was stepping out for the evening. ;)

I wonder if it would be better to be able to see the feet...or toes of the bird. Generally speaking, is there such a thing as shooting from too low a perspective? Or it's more a personal taste thing?

[Lance Peters]

Personal Taste I think Desmond - Like it a lot AL - Sweet Sweet Light and nice detail in those wings :)

[Alfred Forns]

Desmond for this one I was standing with the tripod in the full up position ... to have the feet visible would have needed a tall ladder !!!

When I do go low which is my preference the feet are lost but its a small price to pay for the perspective ... I'm a low angle fan !!!!
