Shot this bullet, I mean Bufflehead, today. Very diffused sunlight,

thin cloud overhead. Great for exposure on this guy. Almost full

frame, cropped vertical. I wish I would have gotten more of his

reflection.

Getting these guys in focus is hard, exposing these guys properly is even harder. I like your title. Excellent shot.

Jody, conditions were definitely in your favor. Lighting was suitable enough to give you a nice catchlight in the bullet's eye as well as catching that irridescence in the head/neck feathers. An added bonus is the fact that the water surface is mirror smooth to allow us to see that wing tip dip.Congrats on another great photograph.

 

PS. This was done with the 400 on the Bushhawk, I presume?

Exceptional clarity and detail for this! The water was cooperating to give you a smooth as glass capture too!
