Cinnamon teal

[Craig Wallace]

Found at my favorite spot Ridgefield NWR.
D2X's 80-400mm VR at 400mm, 1/350sec at f/5.6, iso 200, Pattern metering, WB auto.
Thanks for all comments.

Great shot, maybe swap some ISO for shutter speed. Background reeds can be a tad messy, could you get more to the left to open up scene?

Well done, a beautiful species, nice HA and eye and the color looks spot on. Wonderful habitat picture, wish I was there.

Hi Craig - ditto Jeffs comments - lots to like here.
200 ISO is a little low even with the D2X would probably be at 400.

Nice habitat image. I like the reflections of bird and reeds. Also like the colors.
