Hey Jim, nice looking shot. Can you tell me more about the specifics? How far away were you? I'm thinking of getting this lens, do you use it handheld?

What a nice looking Wood Duck. The Wood Ducks down here in Oz certainly are'nt that flamboyant. I like how the reflection is picked up too. Nice shot.

Nice capture of this beautiful duck. The green water adds to the image IMO.

Hi Mitch.. This duck was in a small park pond but it was on the far side so I had to zoom to the full 400mm of the lens. Shutter speed was 1/500, Aperture f/8, ISO 400. It was handheld.

Below is the original image (shrunk down) just to show you how much cropping I did.

.PS.. Thanks all for the nice comments...

Thanks. I took the plunge last night, and bought this lens. I know I'll be happy with it. ;)
