Karl G Posted June 28, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 28, 2013 Orient, nice painting like effect and lighting. Love the capture of the iridescent head caused by the oil on the feathers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orient XI Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted July 3, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you all for your kind comments. Several of you have commented about the reflections. One good thing about using a long (say 280 or 400mm) Telyt for pictures of wildfowl on lakes is the low angle of view. This causes the far bank to be reflected from the water. A high angle of view from a steep bank causes the sky to be reflected in the water. The plain sky is much less interesting and I'm afraid I have too many of this type of photograph in my files.
