Ring-Necked Duck Wing Flap

[Doug Brown]

Nothing fancy here. Just a wing flap in some nice light. Came across this image the other day while deleting old files; I never processed it before (not sure why). I like the good look at the neck ring.

Doug, this is awesome. Wing flaps are always easier said than done. Bird angle is perfect here and nice to see the ring. Superb job on exposure.

Beautiful shot Doug! The ring really stands out. Nice head angle also but he seems to be looking to the right and not at the viewer. I would like to see a little more room on the right and maybe a little less on the left but this is a pleasure to look at as is!

very beautiful Doug Bhai, loved the pose, details and the play of light makes it beautiful...

[Daniel Cadieux]

You're right, Doug...that is a great view of the neck's ring! Nice pose, almost at the peak of the backstroke. Appealing colours. Not sure if it needs a bit of CW rotation or not.

Great exposure detail and colour...Ditto the CW rotation
