Hooded Merganser at a residential pond near Weeki Wachee, Florida

1/1000 at f8 and ISO 320 EC -1

These guys are difficult bcause the whites are really white and the blacks are really black. They should be at this pond for several weeks so I will have some time to work the exposure.

Good detail and I think you handled the difficult exposure well. Try picking a day with some moderately overcast weather and it might help with this charmer Scott. But you knew that :smile:
Beautiful bird! :toast:
