    Default Gadwall Pair Sacramento NWR

    I have not posted here in a while but want to get back in the game. So here goes.
    Conditions were rainy and cloudy early morning. This was shot with my back up rig on this pair swimming by the other side of the blind. Has a Federal Duck Stamp feel to it

    Chris:

    Nice to get a matching pair in symmetrical poses with minimal merge.
    Calm water.
    You might be able to selectively bring up the exposure on the ducks a bit to help show a little more detail.

    Hope to see more.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Hi Chris, nice calm feel to your image. The ducks do look a bit dark, and I would remove the various black specks in the water. I do wish they were not swimming away! Nice to see the male/female plumage comparision.
