I love the shape and detail on the wings. Would have been nice to have more light on the head and neck.
Very nice capture

Jeroen:

Excellent wing position, nice colors in plumage, and although he is angling away from you, his head is turned back enough to make it work well.

The image would present much better if posted at the full size, 1024x800.

Cheers

Randy

Nice wing position captured here. I also loved the droplets falling off the belly.


-Regards,
Rohan

Hi Jeroen, Lovely flight image with beautiful colors on the wigeon would also love to see this at 1024x800

Great pose, colour, comp. I agree the head would be nice lightened up a bit, but very nice all around.

Hi Jeroen,

Nice capture, love the detail in the wings with the curved primaries, also agree with a little more detail on the head.
