A great pose, Karl. I like the bow wave as well and the eye contact looks good. Exposure is right on with lots of detail in the breast. Very good.
I also like the pose. With the wings up and the breast pushing the water out, it is different from the more common shots.
Nice look at this Eider. Pleasing wing position. I do think lowering the highlights by perhaps 1/4 stop might bring out a little more detail. But I think in general you did a good job.
I like how the wings frame the head. Detail looks good and the water action is a nice addition. All these eider shots are making us westerners jealous.
Anybody is welcome this east side - I will be glad to take to the spot and thanks @Allen_Brooks
Unique and wonderful! Fantastic colors and lovely detail.
This is pretty awesome. Great light, love the wing flap, and the exposure looks spot on. As soon as I saw this, though, it screamed out (to me, at least) for a curves adjustment. What do you think of the below?
Glad you like the edit. I actually think you could go a bit darker on the darks than I did there.
