Oldsquaw (Long-tailed duck) – Barnegat, New Jersey

D2H 500 mm, 1/350 sec, f/6.7, ISO 400

Despite the rain on Saturday and heavy overcast on Sunday we had a very interesting outing. It was very nice to meet you all! Hope everybody got home safe, and see you in the field!

Marius, pretty good for 1/350. Someone's probably going to mention the white being a bit off. Hopefully you shot in RAW and can adjust it. I just saw them for the first time this winter and I seem to remember a lighter white.

An excellent flight shot. Looks a bit dark to me. I would brighten it up a bit.

A beautiful duck I haven't seen before ...
Nice capture, Marius!
Would make some mid-tone adjustments using curve to pop this one. :roll:

Beautiful shot--a quick adjustment in Levels or Curves will really make it pop Marius.

It's a nice flight shot and you did well with the weather. It's a tad dark but a little tweaking should really make this guy look good.

It's a shame to crit such a brilliant shot of one of my favourite species. I'm sure with a few of the tonal/WB and curves suggestions above it will look even more brilliant. Alister
