Are you kidding? Ducks are great on a plate as well! Have you ever had roast duck? Peking (Beijing) Duck? I could go on...

Of course ducks are yummy, they are just yummier if you shoot them first

If all of your photos with the 40D come out looking like a goose, you had better send the camera back....steve

Duck Nicoise! We have it on New Year's Day every year.

I'll take a pic of the next one...

That is an excellent general advice. I wouldn't want my duck flapping in my plate... oh wait, you meant the other kind of shoot!

If one such camera is around, maybe it is one of Canon's secret specialty camera that was misplaced...

Congrats on the new 40D!

This is a GOOSE! This is also not the first time that a POTN post has claimed a GOOSE as a duck shot. Someone a while back claimed a Canada Goose as a duck shot. Canada Geese are very distinctly not ducks and this shot is also not a duck. Please people, let's not embarass ourselves... the birders in the bird section are probably laughing very much out loud...

Good shot of a goose, though!

when my daughter was teeny weeny she called every things that flew - 'Duck!" because ducks were the first birds she met so she thought all feathered friens were ducks

Duck wil do for me , on this shot!

BTW I like the grey against grey , really makes afeature oif that orange beak

Congrats on the new bike!

It would scare you if the 'duck on the plate ' turned around suddenly and took a shot of you with a tiny duck camera - what if it was a secret duck-agent - scareee (phew It's OK I just remmebered its'a gooothe)

Hey Silver, I thought you were going for the D300. What happened? Itchy purchase finger?

yeah i was, then i was hoping to wait for the 5D MK II and see what shows up...

but i think 40D + 24 70 L 2.8 / by chrissmass will be much better....

btw i just sended the camera back to the store.

If that happened, I would first check with a psych to make sure my head is okay. If that checks out, then we can begin to talk about a duck conspiracy to take over the world.

i love this lens... that's awesome how you can see your reflection off the eyes

Ooh! No wonder ducks dictate the customary and necessary first shot of a new camera or lens! They have slowly begun to make us do what they want!

exaccertaly! They have enormous duck-ego's (which will be their downfall) that demand their tithe from all camera buyers
