Well, I finally got my new 40D (refurbed) on Monday but it was rainy so I had to wait to use it yesterday but again it was very overcast, nasty and even rainy for most of the day...the rain/drizzle stopped long enough for me to run out and snap some "lucky" duck shots...C&C much appreciated (even if they are just ducks)

This is pic 001 from the 40D

Not sure if this one should be titled: "Spartans Grab your Masks" or "The Headless Duckman" ...am I crazy thinking that it looks sorta like those armor masks they used to wear?

[Sigh] "I hate paparazzi,...now get them out of here because I don't want my picture taken"

Anyone have any idea why my EXIF info didnt remain intact? I uploaded from Lightroom 2.3 to flickr via the Flickr Export Plugin by Jeffrey Friedl and also used Mogrify by Timothy Aames for the borders and watermark...I could have sworn that I have uploaded like this before and the EXIF remained intact...so if anyone has any ideas to try so it stays intact going forward would be great.

TIA and enjoy(hopefullY)

I agree about shot #4 but it was just to kooky to not include, or so I thought

Congrats on the 40D. Great camera as evidenced by these images. Really great detail and sharpness. I think overcast works to your advantage with shots like these. It's a lot easier to handle the whites and other highlights. By the way, the first mallard hen shot (#5) has incredible detail.

Thank you very much...also I probably should say that these were all taken with my 100-400 and all are at 400mm

well you know what since the EXIF isnt available I thought I would pool it together here

EDIT: All are hand held except the first image(monopod)...and the only one that was cropped a bit was shot #3 because it was just a bit to centered.
