That is a great shot. In the cropped version, I like the water droplets. This cool looking duck almost looks like he/she is smiling. Do you know what this duck is?

haha no :lol:

What i'm trying to do from now on is to take my bird shots from a lower angle,not the same old thing of taking a shot standing up or on one knee.

BUT :confused:

To get this one i had to lie down in the bird muck and the mud :confused: .But hey i dont mind :lol:

Dedication!

Last spring I was lying down taking a macro shot of some ferns emerging from the soil when a prak ranger came over and asked me what I was playing at! :)

Lovely pictures - sad to think that there are still plans to cull this species over here

I love it! Not a fan of the cropped version, but the original uncropped is great!
