excellent work on this composition, Mike!
great pose and setting for this difficult to expose creature
feathers, feet and eye are very crisp-well done!

About how far were you from the bird when you took this shot? It is an awesome shot!

Hi sierracharlie338...

Thanks for the comments. I was about 20 feet away. Thanks to the R5 and RF 100-500 combination, I was able to crop pretty heavily while still retaining much of the clarity. Here's a full-frame view of the cropped version to give you an idea of the scale.

this young lad landed not far from me and I didn't have time to zoom out so grabbed what I could before he moved on

Sorry fotoi, but it's a hen mallard. It is however an excellent shot. The color and sharpness are spot on.

Awesome close-up!

I thought you'd be much closer than 20 feet for that close-up Tom. The crop really turned out great! Nice work.

Very nice capture of this Cormorant, Mike! I love the color of their eyes.

Thank you Steve. Those blue eyes have always fascinated me. They almost look fake.

Awesome capture Mike.

Your great kudos are much appreciated, Paul.
