Wood Duck Aix sponsa
Santee Lakes 3-16-04 This portrait is one of my recent favorites not only because of the subject, but because I had been practicing with fill flash with ducks and was successful and I was able to get a closeup shot of this drake showing the irridescent colors on the feathers below its eye. This male was following its mate around while she ate the cracked corn I was tossing, but refused to eat and instead would stay close and chase away any other duck that gave her a funny look. There will soon be babies following mom around! Cropped about 10% from bottom and right side. Catchlights cloned out of eye to leave only the one from the sun. N90s, 500mm f/4P, SB-26 @ -1.7, 20mm ext.tube, Bogen 3021/BH-1/sidekick, Provia 100F Mike Wilson
