Now this duck was down in Naples. There were lots of duck down there and the closer I got to the water the father they swam from me. Thank goodness I had my long lens.
Nice and sharp given the effective focal length (450mm) - you're obviously getting the hang of that particular beast. Mine hasn't been the same since Mrs S dropped it (and two other lenses) on the tiled kitchen floor!
Super photo, beautiful detail. And...actual water...that isn't frozen solid! I shot a photo of a duck that went in for a bite, head first, and flash-froze that way: head in the water, butt and tail feathers sticking up. :-(
@janiskay That is why they asked people to stop feeding them at #1 pond and people ignored them until they actually lost some because they were frozen to death.
