I just recalibrated my monitor and images are looking rather darker than before - I'm hoping that might help with printing. Comments on this aspect would be appreciated.
The larger version is a must for an image such as this and it looks superb.
Brightness looks ok. Personally I might have processed it very slightly lighter, but that's only a personal preference and not an indication that yours is dark.

In my opinion this is a great image. The fact that it is a common species photographed locally to you proves you can great images without having to always travel the globe.
The larger image is very impressive, good colours and good long distance backround under the water spash as well as in the water.
Cheers

Hi Ian, The large version looks very good.
I am using a computer in a hotel reception this week, so I am not best placed to give feedback regarding if this image is dark or otherwise.
Cheers

Looks ok to me Ian on my set-up and what a great looking action shot.
It is sometimes a pity that normally images are kept to 720 as this really does look the part larger.

16 repliesFirst visit to the pond this afternoon and the mallards were great entertainment. Mk iv is proving to be very impressive so far with autofocus.
LARGER VERSION (much clearer)
