Tufted Duck
Thanks for the comments on my last image. This was taken last weekend at the usual place :biggrin:

I am interested to see whether you think it works with the blurry reeds or would it be better without them?

Techs:
Nikon D300s
Nikon 200-400
Handheld from hide
F5.6
1/500s
ISO 640

Thanks for looking

Oscar :wavey:

I agree with Phil -As is-fine !
The only reed worth thing about would in my opinion be the one near the wing but no big deal. others will have their own opinions.
Great image.

Excellent Oscar. If I was to take anything out it would be the reed head level with the bird on the right edge :wink:
