This was taken the same afternoon as the Canada goose portrait. The mallards were not nearly as cooperative. They would not hold still and this was taken hand held while panning.
EOS 1Ds, 300mm f/2.8 L IS, ff with BB at -1.7Ev, metering set for ambient -2/3Ev, ISO 200. Converted with C1SE and then in PS levels, cropped to 4x5, and USM.
