    Default Hooded Blur

    There was a Tufted Duck reported yesterday in Waltham, MA.
    I spent good portion of the today morning searching for it with
    no success. Instead, all I got was this blur.
    CC appreciated.

    Nikon D700 300mm +TC1.4 f/8 1/60 Matrix AP ISO1000; flash on

    I like it. I wish the hoody was a bit more squared to the camera instead of going away at an angle, and perhaps a slightly tighter crop.
    The background blur is lovely.

    It's an interesting not quite abstract shot you got Ilija, I love the BG and the rich colors, we can still recognize the merganser. I would also do a very slight crop on the left, though the bird seems on the 3rd, I personally would prefer just a little less space on the left.

    Not much light right! 1/60, ISO 1000

    Cool effect!

    Interesting shot. I normally like a pano crop for blurs, as for me it seems to add an element of speed, but the very nice reflection makes it hard to decide on this one. Well done. Dave

    Thanks for the comments, I too was thinking of a pano crop with
    less space on the right, but I just could not crop out the reflection.
    Agree, pano would work here too.

    Cheers,
