About the Image(s)
The image was taken on a Bird Photography Tour in St Martin, June 2025. The camera was a Sony A7RIV with a 100-400 F4.5-5.6 lens. Postprocessing was done in ACR and Photoshop. I finished the image on Topaz with a Cracked Fresco filter to add some texture. Your comments and feedback are appreciated.

Hello Greg,
Greetings my friend.
What an amazing synchronize swimmers. It help me to understand the subjects by looking at the original image first. The the swimmers diving deep inside the water leaving their only visuals over the surface.
Thank you for sharing.
I wish you have a wonderful holidays ahead.
Be blessed as always.
Cheers.

HI Greg - this is an amusing image and you have executed it well. I also like the original with one duck upright and the second butt up, especially because of the lovely red accent on the upright duck. There's a professional photographer in my Camera Club, who's rule of thumb is 'no butt shots', but I think this one is definitely the exception to the rule! Happy Holidays!

Hi Greg - I love images that evoke an emotion - this one made me smile. And yes, I have heard of the "no butts" rule too although I have seen enough creative images to not put much stock in it. I like your composition although think there is too much water which could be edited out to bring more focus to the duo and their synchronized swimming! Best - Posted: 12/18/2025 18:52:58
