The pic below was shot with a 5D MK II + EF 85 f/1.8...

That was obviously not a planned session but I kind of like the result with its autumn flavor, considering the equipment I used...
ISO 800, 1/320 @ f /2.8, AI focus. This is one of a burst of 5 shots, in RAW, processed in LR3 using some of the SEIM presets; heavily cropped of course.
Hope you will like it.

Lovely shot! You captured great wing positions and that background is terrific.

Typical. One hen being followed by 4 drakes. Good one.

Thanks JG, although I'm afraid the wing positions are pure good luck.

Thank you Harvey, it pales beside your duck shots. In the full pic there is a fifth male trailing behind - I did not include him when cropping for composition purpose, and also to avoid having the birds too small in the pic.
