My 3000th post. I thought I would share a yellowbill duck landing with a full reflection. The water was as calm as can be. The landing angle gives the impression that this needs a rotation, but the tips of the beaks are in line. Taken in Pretoria two weeks ago.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me for another 1000 posts. This is a great site for learning, and I for one, have learnt so much from you guys and girls. Now lets move on to the next milestone.
Congrats on the 3000th post Stuart. Lovely shot, nice calm water, good colours, cool landing pose and HT. Does it need a bit of CC rotation?? Anyway lovely shot
Beautiful choice for the 3000th one. Love the calm water, the beautiful pose of the bird, the detail, the water drops and the great reflection. Congratulations for the milestone.
Congratulations on the 3000 posts.
Great landing pose and reflection.
As you said, the landing angle gives the misleading impression that some rotation is needed but it means that the duck is still angled slightly towards us which helps make it such a great image.
Keep the numbers rolling Stu, well done.
It does look as though the bird is going to fall over, will this work with a portrait crop?
Good reflection colour and detail.
