Mallard going home!



1D4 700mm f/5.6 1/2500sec ISO 1600. Hope you like it

One of the best mallard flight shots seen in a while. BG is killer as is the detail. I would like to see the head and eye a bit brighter.

Nice flight image Arash! I like the wing position, BG and colors on the head.

[Greg Basco]

Arash, the soft light works really well here, and I like the graduated BG. Cool stuff.

Cheers,

Excellent pose, sharpness and pretty clean for 1600iso although there is some noise on the bird. I can't figure out where the light is coming from....

Arash, Beautiful pose, sharpness and BG.

[Robert Amoruso]

A by-the-numbers flight shot; great wing position and BG.

I would lighten this image and I feel a touch more selective sharpening of the bird is needed.

perfect pose for a mallard "Going home". If you don't mind telling how much NR was done to this. That background is insanely clean for 1600 ISO. I see a little noise on the bird but nothing that detracts from the bird. Again Nice job!

[James Salywoda]

Awesome beautiful shot Arash.

[Grace Scalzo]

Perfect wing position. Great background. Would love to see it a bit brighter. Noise for me is not a problem here.

Thanks guys, I processed this on my laptop so if you see some noise or brightness issue that's where it's coming from. I will revisit this on my desktop once I get a chance. thanks for feedback!

Here is a report, still on my laptop so not sure if it looks good enough...

[Robert Jensen]

Love the graduated colors of the underwing feathers. Perfect sharpness on the wingtips too. Excellent image all around.

Repost is great Arash, sure is a killer pose, maybe a touch more room at top and bottom but sure is nice, great light, nice movement freeze.

Repost looks fantastic!!

Pane #12 is a nice improvement to #1, the lighting and edit is very good and so is the pose.
