Pintail

[Doug Brown]

This is the frame before the other Pintail image I posted a couple of weeks ago. Not as much color on the wings, but the bird is coming at me this time. I like that the BG is quite different from the other image too.

This looks like a dream shot for a novice like me. I observed water droplets at the bottom it adds to the image :)

Very nice, Doug, as usual. Amazing you can hand-hold the 600. I enjoy all your posts.

Great wing position Doug, and well placed in the frame. This is sharp, and overall well exposed. Yep, killer BG too. Congrats.

Ouch - so good it hurts. Excellent clean background, wonderful detail, perfect pose. I do wish the whites were just toned down a pinch on the neck, but that's really nit picking for such a fine image.
