A few more---I don't know what happened to blue up the female but the DNG was blue as well----I actually turned down the saturation---what could it be??

The head has a large tuft of feathers the duck raises up when alarmed, giving the appearance of a large head---

Very nice Jim....we have lots of Common Mergansers at our cottage but I've not yet seen a Hooded Merganser. They are a beautiful bird and that is so well shown in your second shot.

Went back to LR and desaturated the blue channel and got this---better I think??

Jim,

Nice shots of the male. The female looks a lot better in your second version. Can't
wait for these guys to come south....

Very nice Jim. I have no idea what did the blue shift. I'd be interested in hearing what caused that. :)

Nice shots of these skittish little ducks;I agree, the re-worked female looks a lot better. :)
