A Pair Away

A Gadwall pair as they were leaving the tide flats early this afternoon.  They were a little ways away so I had to crop about 50% to get this composition.

Excellent flight shot, Gary.  I like the poses and the matching ruffled chin feathers are neat.  The detail looks excellent. The composition works very well though my eye seems to want a little more sky on top.

The large version is really great Gary. Nice colors, details, depth and clarity. Since you have the room, I think I would agree with Dennis to give a bit more room up top.
