Another from the archives, from 2015. I was duck hunting one day when this girl glided into some nice water in some nice light.
Specific Feedback Requested:
All comments welcome!
Pertinent technical details or techniques:
Canon 7D2, 100-400 II at 400, f/5.6, 1/1250 sec, ISO 800. Only a little tonal work in LR and into PS for a little cloning/smoothing in a few areas of the water. A very small crop from the top and left.
Is this a composite? (focus stacks or exposure blends are not considered composites)
No
Super smooth and I love the little bit of the feet you can see. Duck feet are funny. Ducks are funny. A beauty. None of my merganser shots are even close to this.
Thanks everyone! I was delighted with the brief chance with good light here during an otherwise frustrating shoot. And I’ve corrected the OP – this is, of course, a GIRL. The guys are quite a different coloring.
