Took this this morning at a local park here in upstate NY. I've been going in the mornings the last few days, to photograph the common mergansers that are in courtship mode. They sure fly fast though, and I've been struggling with capturing them in flight, when light angle is right, and bird angle is right, etc. I was kneeling with the tripod for a while, but having a hard time moving the lens on the tripod fast enough for these birds, even with my Wimberley, so took it off the tripod and handheld.
About a 30% crop. Sharpening, NR, and I desaturated the feet quite a bit, though may need more on that.
Thanks so much for looking, all C & C most appreciated.
