    Default Bufflehead

    Hello everyone. A couple of weeks ago we head a group of buffleheads at our local lake. I was able to draw them in using a "call" . I was able to catch this young one away from the group for a little bit. I know the white patch is lacking detail, but I tried to pull out as much if any as possible.
    C&C welcomed and encouraged.

    Very nice colors and surroundings. I like the water droplets on the body...Bill tip looks a bit soft (I am veiwing on a different monitor to my normal) And also maybe needs a CCW rotation...TFS Robert!

    Very nice. Excellent low POV and I like the droplets and the lookback. Agree re: a bit of CCW. I would eliminate one of the catchlights,

    freaky deadly shot. wish to have such allowance one day in my territory :) excellent perspective, very well exposed with nice sharp features and that look back pose wow ..
    little care needed next while doing beak work IMO.

    The BG is the perfect color compliment.
    Nice angle and nice job getting close.
    I find Buffleheads just take patience to get near, they are no less skittish than other ducks, just smaller.
    Well done.
