Mallard in flight with snow as background

This morning in Québec with a nice lighting. No major changes done, just cropped a little bit on the right.

Nikon D300, 200-400mm @ 300mm, f/4, 1/4000, ISO 640, +2/3 ev, manual exposure, hand held

Looks sharp to me, exposure very well controlled! The inclusion of the shadow is a big plus.

Too bad the eye isn't more visible. I also think he's a bit too far to the left of the frame. I'm wondering about WB, maybe just a bit too warm?

Those are some beautiful wings, no doubt.

Thanks for posting!

A very interesting shot that really shows off the speculum. I like the symmetry but wish I could see they eye.
