Pintail 2

Thanks for the comments and insights on my first posting of this photo. I went back and reworked the image. After looking at it for a bit, I thought that using the flood filter would add an extra dimension.

Pintails are common here during migration, but getting close enough for a good photo is tough. The pose seen in this image is very typical of what I normally see :), long before I get into range. I got lucky the other morning that the birds were sitting tight, and in a canal close to the road.
