Re: Pintail reflections

Both nice images Mike. In the first you can clearly see the eye, not quite so obvious in the second and maybe brightening by a stop or so may improve it (image looks a bit darker than first).

Nice set, first one just wins it for me.

Re: Pintail reflections

Thanks for the tip, yes the eye is not so obvious I think the light level had changed and the head angle not looking in the same light direction. I have tried to up it a bit in my original lightroom photo marginally better

Re: Pintail reflections

The first one just edges it for me but the second has its merits too well done[emoji106]

First one for me.

Re: Pintail reflections

Both images are very nice. It's a shame about the reed going through its head in the first and a lack of a catch light in both shots. I may have used the pop-up flash to put a catch light in the eye.

Agree with all that has been said, just needs the eye lifting

Brian that is something I hadn't thought of will consider in future.
