American Widgeon Stretch

Gallery: AvianPosted December 5, 2016140 views4 comments

Found this guy stretching his wings. I liked the water droplets on his breast and those in the air. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2017) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Superb detail, Jerry. The water drops are a great plus and I like the stretching pose.

Nice action capture and a very nice exposure. I never seem to catch them on a wing flap in as perfect a profile. Well done.

Wow, I'm really surprised this one has only 3 comments Jerry. This is spectacular imo, one of your best. Great detail, lighting and a sweet pose, well done. devil
