Wood Duck

I rarely get a chance to see Wood Ducks so I was excited when I came across a few this weekend.

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the ripples in the water too!

dang, nice! what lens did you catch that pic with?

Thanls Stephanie and dipps!

dipps,it was the 70-200 2.8, but I could have used something longer that day to get a chance at some more images.

argh, just when my jonesin' for the 70-200mm f/2.8 had finally subsided...... lol

i've got a canon 70-300mm, but haven't yet had a real good duck opportunity to test it out.

Very nice capture of one of the most beautiful ducks in existence.

diggs,that's a very nice lens you have there . I believe if you had used that lens for the same shot under the same light conditions there would have been little or no difference between the images.

Ye gads.. what a great shot!

doesnt look like wood to me , looks real lol
great shot of a great looking duck

Thak you Playm and mrmacca. This is actually the pose I was hoping to capture but I failed to nail it. I guess I need more practice.

Nice shots Love wood ducks. The colors are amazing.

Great image. The Wood Duck is one of the most colorful in my book. I also like the texture and color on the water.

Thanks SRA_Fl and mobileman, I appreciate it.

Nice work, Bruce!

I was sittin' in my duck blind this morning when one came swimming by. He wasn't freaked out at all by the noise of the shutter clicking, and I got several shots of him. At one point he was so close I couldn't fit all of him in the frame. Now if only the lighting had been better . . .
