Nice Teal shot. Not too bright on my gear but the contrast is spoiling the back of the head a bit No big deal though.
( I hate strong sunlight.!! :wink: )
Cheers

For some reason I find teal and wigeon difficult to get right, my shots always come out as nearly but not quite what I wanted and this one is a bit the same for me. I don't think the dark head colours and the light body colours help a lot when the sun is strong and directional. I think the contrast is spoiling this shot a little, but you have a good PoV.

Does look a little bright here too, but on a laptop that does seem brighter generally so could be that. Do like the point of view and composition :smile:
