Ring-necked Duck II

Gallery: AvianPosted January 15, 2017174 views4 comments

I liked the water in this frame as much or more than the duck, but he does provide a focal point.

7DII, Sigma 150-600 C @ 388 mm, beanbag on car window, f/11, 1/1600, iso 1250, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 EV. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped to 16.6 MP before resizing. Taken January 6th at 10:22 AM.

Comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Very clean image for iso 1250. You're right; the water is really smooth and has very nice abstract features. But I also like the duck. The color and are done quite well. This looks really good as a large detailed image. I'm guessing this was at Ridgefield.

I like the water, but I like the duck more. :) Beautiful colors and detail, and the colors in the water and the duck complement each other.

Very nice photo of the Ring-necked duck Dennis and you're right, the water looks great. The darker areas in the water compliment the ducks plumage well.
