Goosander on the level !!! repost
Todays harsh light proved a problem for the whites this is the best of the bunch, need to go back for some more.

Hello Paul
A tricky exposure which you have coped with very well. I think the image could do with a C/W rotation.
Best wishes
Phil

A good lake for water skiing - without the boat :wink:
Have you used the noise reduction on it only it all looks a bit as though the feathers have melted on my monitor? Also the frame along the top has a notch in it where it looks as though a patch has been used?
Great pose though and I think that with some slightly more refined processing, you have a really good shot there. I would be happy to have it that's for sure.

After rotation it seems right Paul, but somehow you lost some details and got a halo around the beak. Did you rotate after resizing or sharpening ?

I did no changes other than to straighten it up, as far as I know!!! but thanks for all your comments :wavey:
