Ducks and a flower (5)


A bit of an assortment of ducks.

C&C as always. I hope you enjoy them.

Tim

1 Gadwall trying to break his own neck
2 Suddenly his head broke free and impacted the body with such force that an exposion of feather issued forth!!
3 Shoveler

4 Shoveler
5 Mallard
6 For Terry and Karl! I was looking for birds and decided I would try this. The problem, no tripod or tubes. Shot with a Bushhawk!

Great series. Where is the disclaimer "no animals were injured....". That is important when you film these things. Good job. #4 is my fav

Tim, thank god there is an explanation to go with #2 That is a wild shot, very cool. Those feather markings are gorgeous on them. Although the low angle of the Shoveler in #4 is nice, the Mallard in #5 steals the show, that is a winner for me

Now a about the flower................only one ahhhhh come on man! Those delicate paper whites are pure and beautiful. Lots of detail and a very good start to another possible addiction. Thanks for the dedication, needed that man

Nice job buddy.............Karl

Wonderful shots Tim. Although the head is nowhere to be found, I like the feather detail in #2. Second favorite is the last one, very nice.

Very nice work. I love the gadwall poses. They must be practicing their yoga.

Beautiful shots, Tim. Clean, very well exposed, and with fine detail. # 3, and 5 are my favorites. Great pose captured in the first shot.

Congratulations on your first flower posting Tim. Its nice to see a full bloom of flowers getting attention. I posted one something like this a while back and got lots of useful advice including on isolating one flower instead of the whole bloom and I know this type of photo can be really spectacular but I still think the full bloom can make a beautiful photo.

Thanks Lil, I was a bit nervous about the Rhodie.

It's hard to train them to do that!!

Karl, it's a toss up for me, the mallard or 2. I'm not kidding when I say I was thinking of you and Terry when I was looking at that rhodie. I was on the lookout for a kingfisher but couldn't find one. I then saw the nice white flowers in soft light. The only problem was that I wasn't set up for it. Thanks for the kind words and being the muse sitting on my shoulder and giving me that little push.

Thanks Doug, that is why I posted 2, I had some others where you could see the head but I thought it was better without it!

Socrate, thanks for the kind words. I'm learning from you! I like 5 a great deal myself, that one was very good right out of the camera.

Thanks Martin, I struggle with isolating a single flower. I have to agree with you, a single flower may be the better way to go but sometimes the whole bloom looks a bit more natural.
