I shot this yesterday at Santee Lakes Recreational Park. It is a full frame shot. Your comments and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Hi Hugh!!!!!!

That D3 is smoking!!!! Please tell the duck we'll be there in two weeks, to hold the pose!!!

Red carpet welcome, fan of your here :)

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Welcome, Hugh! Excellent image in all respects. It looks really clean for ISO 800.

Hi hugh,
This looks really good at my calibrated monitor except for the whites which are blown as far as I can tell. Maybe taking this shot back to RAW would remedy that. Otherwise a great shot!

Hi Hugh and welcome to BPN. Gorgeous lighting in this image and the color of the water is awesome. Also very much like the crop. No nits for me !!!

[Jody Melanson]

Beautiful image Hugh. Welcome to BPN. The only nit I can muster is maybe a lower angle and the whites are a little hot?

[D. Robert Franz]

Just lovely! The whites as mentioned seem a bit hot....

[James Salywoda]

Sweet image Hugh nice colors and details ....

[Glenn Bartley]

A beauty of an image. I'd clone out the few little blemishes in the Bg if it was mine.


Cant wait to see more :)
