Red Head Duck

Bolsa Chica Wetlands, H. Bch. Calif

This image was taken in early Oct. I was very happy to get some decent shots of this species.

Nikon D200 AFS 600 F4 1.7 Tele Conv.

Thanks For Looking

Very nice indeed. The only thing I might work on is whatever is oof right at the bird's tail. That is a REALLY minor thing though in a great image.

[Arthur Morris]

Ditto Jim Poor. Excellent subject to imaging sensor orientation and I like the oof marsh in the upper right (except for the yellow diagonal thingie).

later and love, artie

This is beautiful James, I really like the composition and the angle. Very nice details as well, no nits from me.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great angle, details, exposure control and BG. If anything, I would remove the bright white spots on head and chest.

[Grady Weed]

I like the comp as a whole. Perhaps the chest is a tad dark. Overall, this is great.

[Fabs Forns]

Sweet, James, really soft and pretty. I'd remove the plumage shine too. Nice background and water :)

Beautiful shot, Jim! Great low angle shot.
