Hi Christian,

The shot is well timed and well focused. I realize that the harsh lighting was difficult, but her breast is significantly underexposed. The composition might be more pleasing if you had more dead space in front of her (on the right) and less behind her.

Hi
Great shot under these light conditions, I agree with Joel that there should be more space to the right of the merganser.

Haha, Christian... Very original shot.
I like it a lot, and it made me laugh.
Her hiding her face notwithstanding, the light and colors are nice, and the pose is.... very interesting and unusual.
TFS. : )

Hello Christian
Nice shot and perfect details.
Congratulations!
Regards, JL.

Wow!
I like colors!
TFS,

Bonne journée.

Salut Chistian,
J'adore ces oiseaux que je ne vois pas souvent, ils sont tellement élégants. C'est une bonne capture en mouvement avec d'excellents détails, une belle lumière et exposition. Je suis d'accord avec certains commentaires comme quoi, un peu plus de place devant lui aurait été préférable dans la composition mais c'est tout de même très réussit. Merci!
Claudine

Hi, Christian.
Shot is very interesting, because of it's great timing. Light, sharpness, exposure and composition are also very good.

Salut Christian
Excellente photo avec ce beau canard qui s'anusait sur l'eau, les couleurs et les détails sont jolis vue les circonstances.. Belle composition. Bien vue et bien réalisée.Il fallait être vite sur la gachette.
Bravo et merci...JP

Hello Christian, :)

Wonderful Action capture! Sometimes those single fire shots turn out to be some of our best! This is really cool, great colours and POV with her! Very well done, thanks for sharing!

Hi Christian,
Great interest and timing for this one..
You've done well with the late light, nice warm colors. Good detail, and I like the POV of the action :)
Well done.

Going for the gold, bet she comes up with a fish! Nice shot.
