Lesser Scaup drake in flight

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Evening light. 40D. 400 f/5.6L at f/5.6. iso 640. 1/4000s. must be roughly 70% crop.

This one is from March. I am thinking of taking a little off the bottom.

All C&C welcome.

very nice Kausubh, I like the wing position and water drops, would like to see this 1024 pixel wide bird is a bit small in this one.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Good sharpness and wing position. The whites could go a bit darker for my taste.

[Adams Serra]

I like the crop as is, nice wing position.

[Fabs Forns]

Beautiful wing position and detail, KD and nice BG too.

[Stu Bowie]

Kustubh, super flying posture, and the duck is seperated from the BG nicely. I like the colour of the water too.

[Juan Aragonés]

Perfect timing, light, eye contact and wing position. Love everything on this one Kaustubh :)

Thx everyone. I found Scaups hard to catch perfectly in flight. difficult to expose too. Hoping to have more keepers next winter.
