Sacramento River, Ca
This guy was really curious about my blind. 7D2, 500/F4+1.4, F10, 1/1600, ISO 800, -0.33 EC, tripod, doghouse. Full Frame.
Thanks for any comments or suggestions, Dave

I like the head turn, it gives the duck an inquisitive look. Nice sharpness and detail also.

I'm jealous that you can get so close so easily it seems. Wonderful detail here at the water is really fine.

This is pretty neat, David. The distinctive head shape of this species is interesting, and the head turn makes even more so. I like the details of the bow wave. A very nice image for a tight frame.

David the textures and the colors are amazing, what a great design in his feathers. The smoothness of the water and the fine texture of his feathers make this a fantastic quality photo due to your camera control and lighting. What a beautiful bird up close.
