    pintails are one of my favorite ducks. I'm not yet happy with the few shots I have of them. not on a decent computer so won't comment on techs. nice lighting, good eye contact, and catch light. so I'd say you did pretty well. unfortunate timing that caught the dark side of a ripple behind the signature sprig tail. demonstrates the benefit of shooting bursts when possible.

    This one is so-o-o-o good. Love everything about it. That angle brings out the feather details.

    Hi Sherwood,

    Definitely prefer the second, it looks a tad sharper too.

    Well done, Dave

    That first one is closer to a snowy owl than I'll ever get!
