First, this is a CAPTIVE bird, photographed at the Ecomuseum de Montreal. They have a small pond (10x5m) with a variety of waterfowl. Photography there is not easy, access to the pond is only from two sides, the sun is never in perfect angle and there is so many ducks that it is difficult to isolate one. I was lying on the wooden board under a bench to lower the angle as much as possible, you can not get lower there and at the same time have a good light. I would wish for even lower angle, but still was happy with the result - I like the pose and the colour of the water (in reality it was ugly muddy water, but from this angle and with the sun it is pleasing to my eyes). It is hard to keep whites from overexposing with these ducks, I don't know if it is even possible (advice appreciated). I am aware of the whites on the bill being overburned.
EOS 10D + 400/5.6L (Hi Scott ), handhold, almost full frame, some cloning of dirt on the water Thanks for looking Fero Fero Bednar, http://www.wnp.sk
