    Default Surf Scoter Landing

    Photographed at Barnegat Light a few weeks ago. I did not run NR on the BG at all.

    Hi Axel, Real nice action I especially like the wake of water he is creating as he lands and the white eye. Since the HA suggest that he is moving from right to left in the frame I would prefer more space to the right of the bird.

    I can see your thinking why you placed him central - do keep the wakes on either side of him- right? I feel that was the only way to go, as cutting off either of them, you would lose the overall impact. Just enough space infront too.

    I like the splashes on both sides and the nice eye contact. Challenging exposure; I might try to pull out a bit more detail in the blacks.
