Close but no cigar ...
This is close to the the bank shot I would've liked, but unfortunately the rear end is still flat.
Also wish the bird's feathers were in a better shape and that the light wasn't angled.
Canon 1D4, 700mm
1/2500, f6.3, iso 500
Manual, HH
All comments appreciated.
Thanks.

Looks about right to me Sidarth ! Looks like you got hhim just at the start of the bank just before the tail twisted your way. It would do for me- no problem. Fine image.

Great shot Sid. Sorry there were not many ducks at the pond for your visit. Great meeting you and your wife come back soon.

Hi Sid. I agree 100% with your self-critique. Great pose, decent light, very sharp, but eclipse plumage.

I'd say that was pretty close to perfection on the pose myself ,just the tail a hair but that's not a big deal.
Techs look great too. looks great even though he's an eclipse Drake. We'll done Sid.
