Northern Pintails Full body

[Dennis]

As the others have stated, the snow on the beak in #3 really makes for a pleasing shot. The full body shot in #2 works great, with that white background. I like how the various feather colours are evident in the first shot. Was everything close to shore still frozen over, when you were there?

So #3 is the hit in this series, and I agree Brian it does have that pleasing look about it. I like #1 for the green that you can see in the back of the bird, #2 has a nice pose to it.

Close to shore was still frozen over on the shore line, but as the morning went on you can see from the bottom of the tripod legs that it was melting at a good rate. Sunday is when Glen and I head over there, and I was hoping to go this week but the weather sure changed and now over cast days all week now and into the weekend by the looks of it.

Thanks for your comments Brian.

These are very nice of the Pintails, I have seen them here but they are way out and this one seems in close and much tamer then the ones here.
