Ring-billed Flight

I liked that the Ring-billed hen's colors and the background colors were complimentary. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2017) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Good bird in flight shot.  The detail is excellent with nice catch light and the duck stands out nicely from the background.  From experience I know these are tough shots to get, so great job.devil

Man I like that creamy background on this one Jerry. Nothing to complain about here. Great color palette and great light!

Nice detail and wing position, Jerry and the bg works very well with the colors of the duck.

Super shot!  The bird really pops against that beautiful background.  I like the detail of the bird against the smoothness of that nicely lit background.
