I commented on this, but forgot to post it. I love the exposure under the lighting conditions you were working with. You have out done yourself again.

Still came out pretty good Marcus, I can appreciate your problems to expose. Very nice bird and in a excellent in flight pose. Bokeh and sharpness very nice and colour of water super. Well done Marcus.

What a great shot, Marcus! You caught him at precisely the right moment. The goldeneye is soooo hard to get the exposure correct on,that darned white spot on it's head throws everyting off! I havent' been able to do it yet... but this is very good.

I think you have disturbed him and he was trrying to escape you thus the hurried stance and almost left toes:).Another wonderful shot i like the several droplets of water created by the left toes!lol

I agree with Leoni [and you Marcus, of course] the eyes are the key point for the shots of the living "subject"! it grabs your attention, becomes the point of interest of the whole frame! you have that in your shots Marcus, the rest is a good technique, reflex and soft. skills [maybe few more things]. Very well done!- as always! best regards, Pawel

Thanks Bruce, I shoot 50/50 raw/jpg, If I know im shooting easy to expose subjects I can shoot Jpg with a 23 frame buffer, In situations like this bird my first attempt was jpg, when I realized I would and needed more latitude In PS I switched to raw though with only 5 frame buffer you have to lock on quickly and get the keeper in the first couple of frames..
thanks again..

Hi Marcus,
The exposure looks great to me on my monitor! As you say, It has to be one of the hardest things to get right. Bright white with some detail up against dark black with detail also. Another very original pose too, just skipping the water like that.
I think Buffleheads are even smaller and harder to get good images of. So, I look forward to the next one.

Love the look of concentration in its eye, I guess taking off and landing are the most difficult parts of flying. Nicely timed Marcus. Do you shoot in raw mode?

You did an excellent job of capturing this guy, Marcus! The compromise in exposure for light and dark worked out well, but the feet dragging in the water really makes the shot. Probably one of the few times you'd wish it was an overcast day!
Dave.

Thanks Leonie, I really do think the eyes are the key and the difference from a good shot to a even better shot, I sometimes get many sharp shots of the same bird in an outing, but do always if possible use the one with the best eye contact...
Thanks again..

Marcus, what I am amazed by is the eyes of almost all of the birds you capture... I for one cannot help but focus on these bright jewels of concentration first...
Only then do I move on and take in the detail of the whole, ie shape, feathers, colour etc...
A wonderful teaching aid for those interested in drawing... :)
Onie...
