Taken last week again at Lake Geneva,A few of these are arriving and taking bread so not a problem getting close,wish the same applied to the goldeneye which are keeping distant
Canon 1d2+500 1/160@F8
Nice shot. Good light, composition is fine and the water texture is very attractive. Whites look ever so slightly blown, maybe -1/3 stop less on the exposure would have been ideal.
They sound nearly as tame as the captive RC Pochards at Slimbridge
Sounds like Lake Geneva is a good spot for wildfowl photography.

The head turn has saved the day and resulted in a fine shot.
