I waited and waited to catch one of the ducklings when they shook their little wings and I never got a great shot --- either they were turned away from me, other ducklings blocked part of the shot, or in this case I was zoomed too far out and cut off Ping's head, so this is the best of the bunch. Camera info is the same as previous duckling posts
Post processing: set white and black points in ACR, Curves for contrast, sharpened with the Edge.
That's just wrong to tug on our hearts with the story of Ping!! What a great background. That turquoise blue would be hard to replicate anywhere!
ReplyDeleteNow, Moose would have gotten in the water and taken these from a very low angle so that this little guy would look like he is conquering the world. But then again, I do think that Moose might have a few screws loose.
ReplyDeleteReally good action sequence. You really get the feeling that you are there watching all of this take place. I also really like the square format--as you know I really do not like the 2x3 format of our DSLRs.
Nice job Moose Cindi!
Beautiful series Cindi!
ReplyDeletePersonally I'm not bothered by the cut off head in the last photo; maybe because you gave me two other shots I can look at for that but I don't even think it would have bothered me as a stand-alone shot.
Well done!

Frankenduck! Who cares about the flat head. I think the "amputated body parts" critique is overplayed anyway. Nice photo(s).
