I took this on a freezingly cold day. Great subject, as it hung around until I left.

Handheld at 200mm f/5.6 1/2000 with ISO 800 (if I could use dif. settings let me know)

C&C welcomed and appreciated.

Nice shot...A very fine subject. It looks like a female Mallard to me because of the orange-black bill and the bordered blue speculum.

Thank you for the clarification. I'm just beginning to get into bird photography.
