Outstanding Cliff. Beautifully taken in some not so favorable lighting conditions. The DOF is excellent.

This is fabulous. Sharp and the dof is perfect.

This is way cool. It looks like those pictures they used to put into those Viewers we had as kids, which held a circular cardboard thing with pictures in it, which gave it a 3D effect. Does that make sense? Anyway, this bird just pops!

hahaha, Robin has the funniest comments. Nice job, I find it hard to get focus when they are in flight

I wouldn't know the difference between a duck or mallard but great shot!! Seems like you & I need to get a lens with bigger aperture, LOL!! Time to ask our spouses again for some gifts, don't you think? :)

Forgive me Cliff... this is just ducky! Really good. And I also like the way you were able to treat the background.
Guest 15-Jan-2005 16:03
Nice catch. The blurring/obscuring of the other ducks really works here.

Great catch
