Nice lights on the Scaups, but not too happy with the pavement in the BG

Hi Phil
Not keen on the BG, but great low angle and nice to see both birds in sharp focus!

Hi Phil great capture and BG is a wee bit distracting.

Agree re the background but suppose you needed f10 to keep them both in focus. Lovely birds with a nice low angle on them. Would be happy to see one down here and you have two!
Hi all unfortunately there is nothing I can do about the background as it is the edge of the large island in the centre of the boating lake and none of the birds would venture far away from it because of the strong winds.

Ps here is a wider view showing some of it

Nice capture. I like the head-up pose and the low angle.

Background isnt fantastic and i would like some seperation between the birds, but still a nice image with very good exposure to match.!
