With the Novemeber issue online, maybe I can post some now...

Since E.J. started with his female duck I thought I would post a female as well. ;)

EOS 1d, EF 600/4 IS, 2xII TC, 1/500 @ f11, ISO 200, no flash.

Greg,
A nice closeup of an attractive duck. Perhaps a tad more room to the right.

What a beauty. I really like the depth of feather detail and natural looking light.

Water in the Churchill River? In the liquid state? What a novel idea!! Says the locals: "latest spring in 30 years...." There was some liquid H2O further up stream where it was moving faster.

Killer shot Greg, would have loved to work on these ladies some. Of course I would have been happy with an opp on a male too.

The steel gray water is really nice

Gorgeous Greg. I too would like a little more room on the right. Certainly not an image killer by any means.
