Hooded mergansers in-flight

dangles

Went out to Lake Hefner in Oklahoma City this afternoon to see if the ducks were back. This is one of the images I got just before sunset. This is handheld.

I like how they almost seem to fit together like puzzle pieces, one with her wings up and the other with his wings down, and perfectly positioned like that. Nicely done!

Very nice capture Duane of a difficult subject.

I'm noticing some haloing around the edges of your subects. Do you use selective sharpening in your post processing?

Maestro

Wow! Those are two great looking DIFs (Ducks in flight)

dlplumer

Those are fantastic. I can't see the haloing that Harry sees
