I am enjoying the flight position and the warm light on this Green Winged Teal. Nice background but mildly noisy. An easy fix. The detail on the bird is superb and I like the slight blurring of the wingtips.

Nice wing position and detail, Dave. Sweet light and water as well.

Beautiful subject and light, but it looks like the image quality isn’t quite there. A big crop?
