The sun was at a good angle to bring out some of the iridescence of the green feathers. Thanks, kosin. Joe F.N. wrote in post #9058729 I'm glad you got that close Bill. It's a wonderful portrait of a gorgeous duck. Thanks, Joe. I was just sitting still and this one wigeon seemed full of curiosity. It hesitated for a bit and then gradually worked its way closer to me and I just pretended that I wasn't paying attention. jgrussell wrote in post #9058787 Beautiful shot! Thank you, Judy. ajosteve wrote in post #9059064 You guys sure have some pretty ducks. That's a fine portrait Bill! Thanks, Steve. The weather has been ducky lately -- but not too good for photography. I am hoping that some woodies will show up later. I have not had an opportunity to photograph some of the wilder species.

Nov 22, 2009 01:35 | #10 Beautiful portrait Bill, I'd like to get close to some of these. I haven't made the shift to the ducks yet, I've seen some arrivals that I need to get after. Buffleheads, Hoodies and a few others. I'm a little obsessed with the Avocets right now. Steve

Fine shooting!!! Dan Thanks for the compliment, Dan. I am guessing that the star is caused by the aperture shape at f/8.

I got several shots of this wigeon, but the high contrast from direct sunlight made most unusable. I noticed later after reviewing the images that "Wige" has some sort of injury on its neck. It looks like a skin tear about a half-inch long. Initially, I thought that there was something tangled there like a fishing lure, but I don't think that is the case. The top edge of the injury can be seen at the lower right corner of the image. artyman wrote in post #9060353 Great shot Thanks for the compliment, Ken.

It got within about 20 to 25 feet of me -- almost too close to focus. I am very pleased with the ISO 800 performance in good light.
