Nothing exotic - just my personal best close-up of a duck, I guess. Taken hand-held in bright sunlight with the 1.7X tele on my V1.

Hey Jerry,

A reeally fine shot. :clap Great colors and details in the shot. It may be a tad too bright but that's really picking the nit.

...I would decrease the brightness on the blue only. :wink

...I would decrease the brightness on the blue only. :winkThis is a kind of compromise that I'm pretty happy with... I lightened the duck a tad from the last one, but excluded the blue water from the lightening; then selectively darkened the blown-out rear quarter just a tad... it's "picking nits", but sometimes it's these miniscule adjustments that make the difference...

Thanks for your feedback!
