    Default Duck WWF

    While on a trip last year to Manitoba, I managed to capture these two Blue-winged teals fighting over a female. The action was hot and even at 1/2000, I couldn't stop the image from being soft...the roiling water was in perfect focus . I applied a light watercolor effect to the image. Only thing I am not sure of is the framing, probably could have picked a better effect. Thanks for looking.

    I disagree with you Paul. This looks like a great painting to me and thus an even better photograph! The effect that you chose is perfecto.
