Dispite the gloomy weather here in Washington state I have been trying to get some images of the elusive hooded merganzers. Here are a few of the images I have been able to capture. Bruce

Very nice shots, but I believe #4,5, and 9 is a juvenile male. Yellow eyes and dark black bill.

You have some great behavioural and action shots here. The colours seem a bit off, or was that intentional. I kind of like it!
The whites are all hot except maybe in #9.

All great shots, but look over-sharpened, over-contrasty, and over-saturated.

Wow Bruce...
I think if your objective was to get a few decent shots of Hoodies, you met your goal and some! Pic's 1,2 & 3 are my favorites... lovely work.

Colors were affected by deep reflections in the water. some of which were from the colors on railroad cars as they went past the pond these are located at. I underexposed these by 2 stops and if I went any more would lose all detail in the darks. Hoodies white feathers are almost pure white so chose not to lower exposure any more on purpose. . Thanks for the suggestions. Bruce
