    Default Black-bellied Whistling Duck

    I was out at Viera yesterday to see what action was going on. There are plenty of BBWD's around for sure, so was practicing some BIF shots. Taken with the D300s and Nikon 500 f/4 and 1.4TC, f/7.1, 1/2000, iso 800 attached to the Quick Action Harness.

    Nancy, I like the composition and the exposure looks good. I think you did well getting the detail under the one wing especially. I still need to try out that harness.:)

    Nancy:

    Well exposed, nice placement in the frame. I appreciate the subtle variation in the sky.

    Cheers

    Sharp with good eye contact. Like the dangling feet. I might go a little darker on the sky.
