The mating ritual was still going on strong today.
Light was continuously changing, and I ended up adjusting the
shutter speed between 450-5000 and sometimes the ISO and f stop needed adjustment as well.
Thanks for looking.

What a cool display Karl! Great pose and killer action displayed. Good job on the whites. Nice and clean and not muted grey. Well done

Your exposure is perfect for sunlight, as good as can be done, IMO.
Fun pose and splash..
Maybe needs some CCW rotation?

Wonderful view of the courtship display, Karl! This drake thinks he's a motorboat!
