Lake Los Carneros, Santa Barbara, CA.
D30, Sigma 400 f/5.6 APO Macro HSM @ 6.3, ISO 200, 1/1600, -1 1/3, flash -1 1/3, cropped. I watched this guy and his female companion for several hours one day. While the female would frequently swim within a foot of me the male usually stayed quite a bit further away. When the Coot family, also at the lake, would swim near the male Ruddy he would start this "bubbling" behavior accompanied by a strange honking sound. I've shown this photo to several people and I seem to be the only one who likes it. :roll: I'd be very interested to hear any opinions as I guess I am not sure what to think about this image. All comments are welcome. Thanks for looking! Also- I should mention there is a huge fence blocking off this side of the Lake therefore preventing a lower shooting angle. I would have preferred the lower angle and the wing tip not to overlap the tail. Laura Stiefel
