Bosque Pintail

Keith Bauer told me where to find the pintails at Bosque. I like the background and the trailing water droplets. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2017) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

This is really nicely done especially in the larger image. I like the detail and it really pops against the warm background. Everyone who went to Bosque got some really nice photos this year. Someday I will have to make it down there.

Beautiful bird in flight shot. Good detail and I like the wing position and complimentary background.

Hi Jerry:

Nice pose from the pintail with a great background. Very nice location for opportunities. Doesn't look like the head is quite as sharp as you'd like it to be. Focus appears to be sharper on the back.

Outstanding pintail flight image. The lighter background color really compliments the bird and the wing position really shows off the speculum.
