This group of ducks was lucky enough to be caught on camera yesterday afternoon. Sigma 120-300mm zoom @300mm, ISO200, f/3.5 @1/1600 This lens has an f/2.8 ap. As we all know moving birds are hard to get but this one turned out OK I think. And your thoughts after viewing the enlargement ( DOWNLOAD)

That's a great image. Everything is nice and sharp. Probably all you have to do in PP is get rid of the color luminance and your done!

In post processing, such as in lightroom, you can refine your picture and get rid of grain and color irregularities due to your specific camera's imaging characteristics and ability to handle higher ISO's.

Do you see in the wings and the backs of the ducks there are red/pink colors?...
they don't belong there and are the result of the particular camera/lens that is being used.

Fullframe, just to make sure we're on the same page, For PP do you use Lightroom and it was a program or something called Lminance that gets rid of the noise etc. I work with PSE9 and under filter there is a feature that gets rid of noise They don't have anything that says LUMINANCE. Must say you have a very sharp eye. Thanks much for your help and comments.
