I shot this guy at a local pond. He didn't mind my presence, and didn't even get spooked when all the other ducks took off. Bright sun clipped both ends of the histogram... I'll look for him again on the next overcast day and maybe get better exposure.

Nice captures. Those guys do spook very easily.
