    Hello everyone. Here is shot of this curiuos scaup. She followed me until I got to where I wanted to be. Got as low as I could and she let me take a couple of shots before she swam off.

    Hi Robert, good low angle and HA, and you have exposed the duck very well. I like the colour of the water, together with the blues of the bow wave and trailing wake.

    Robert, nice details, low angle, HA and exposure. the WB seems a bit off though.

    Lovely image of this scaup, Robert. Great job getting low and sweet soft light. I might clone out the dark patch just in front of him in the water, and it looks to need a slight CCW rotation.

    Very nice.
    Low angle and you nailed the exposure.
    It looks level to me and I like the colors.
    They might not be true to life, but it is a very appealing photograph.
