Wow did I struggle with the exposure with this little duck. shot with the 400 5.6 and 2x converter. 1/250 - 1/1000 @ f13 iso 400.
Hope you enjoy.

Nice shots. I've always found them a difficult bird to photograph because of the contrast between W&B.

The eye always seem to blend into the feathers for me......yours look great though!

Thanks all for the kind words. They certainly are a challenge to shoot and process.

Love #1 the sheen along head and neck is fantastic. The 400 w/2x produced some decent results. Good job.
