Long-tailed Duck

Photographed at Barnegat Light earlier this month. I added some canvas on the left.

Axel:

Another nice long tailed duck. Excellent sharpness, exposure, pose. Like the flipped up tail feathers. Good call on more canvas to the left.

Like the posture, exposure & composition. Added canvas adds the necessary space to fly into & strengthen the composition. Great PP work.:)

Very nice pose and detail, I'm dying to see one of these...

If I had a job and the money, I guess I'd have to drive south to NJ :)

We have them here in NE but they seem to favor the same distance away as the snowy owls do this winter :(

Hi Axel, what strikes me straight away in this, is the double S curve from tip of beak, to tip of the tail. Good wing position, and as always, you have nailed the exposure. Well captured.
