They moved into a nicer background but decided to be backlit :huh
these are from last sunday. it was funny I shot these & then turned around 180 to shoot the canvasbacks:scratch anyway I know where about 3 breeding pair hang out. It's not always easy to find them & once they have a chick or two it is harder yet. Supposed to get 6-12 inch of snow today so I'm kinda worried about them, & the Bluebirds I shot the other day:cry

1 you can see it was frosty out.

I think the back lighting adds to the "mood" of the shots. You did an outstanding job of overcoming the difficult lighting. We have tons of flooding in the area so I can't even get close to the good locations. I may have to break out the canoe this weekend!

#1 and #3 are my favs.

Very nice Dave. Numbers 2,3 and 4 are especially nice.

Hi Dave.. I concur on the backlighting, tough but you got good results, especially #2, which I really like..
