Drop Back

My favorite waterfowl subject again, the Bufflehead. I like the water droplets on this guy, especially the three perfectly shaped water droplets on his back. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

I really like all three of your Bufflehead images. In attempting to get photos of Buffleheads, I have never been able to come even close to the quality of these. If I had to pick one as my favorite, it is the beautiful lady. I love her pose and the wonderful water surrounding her.

Absolutely gorgeous, Jerry. The drops are wonderful and the slightly open beak looks like a hint of a smile. Well done.

I love the iridescence Jerry. Great POV, Great DOF, really nice lighting, and the water drops are the icing on the cake.

Another really good job on the Drake here. I like the open beak on this one. Color, detail, and composition are just right.
