Female Mallard
Hi Everybody,

As today was the only sunny day this week I had to get out, so I decided on Epping Forest for some waterfowl shots, and this is one of the results.

The techs were:
Nikon D2X, 200-400MM, 1.7TC, 1/125sec at F8, beanbag, angle finder.

C & C welcome.

Regards Chris

Lovely soft colours and lighting. Personally, I wouldn`t mind if the Mallard were a little more central, with a touch more room to its right.

Nice one, like the pastel bg and water, perhaps it would have been nice to include the full reflection, nice soft light on the bird which has given good detail.
