I have had this lens for a couple of months, but this is the first duck shot good enough to post. It's my first wood duck I have had the chance to get close to.

Very nice shot of the male wood duck, rw. Love the low angle. The whites on the duck are a little warm. Wish the exif was attached to the image so we could see if anything could be improved, in case you have another chance to photograph the duck. :)
