The same Harlequin Duck hen I posted earlier, this time in a more traditional pose. Solomon Fish Hatchery, Port Valdez, Alaska. Evening light (9:00 PM).

Cropped to 60% of full frame. Adjustments to Levels, Selective sharpening of bird.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.

Certainly a more dynamic pose, Jim, though I liked the other a lot, but then I'm a sucker for preening poses. Excellent image quality in this one as well.

Nice one Jim. Good light and exposure, and very sharp. I like the hen's pose with the wing movement. Very cool looking environment - wish I was there!

Nice job on the techs Jim and I like the open wings and stretched out look from this hen. Good work!

Hey Jim,
This is one excellent image in all respects, I especially appreciate the low POV you managed.
Well done . . . devil
