Laura Milholland

San Francisco Zoo

A male Wood Duck.
No retouching or color alteration - only cropped and a little sharpening.
I fought with the reeds trying to get a clear shot of this guy - this was the
best I could do.

F/2.8 1/400s iso-200 59mm


other sizes: small medium original auto

I love how the colors on a duck look almost cartoon like. Very nice.

Thanks, all, for your nice comments. Glifford, I did use manual focus/metering to get the duck instead of the reeds. It was fairly dark also, so I was all the way open (F/2.8) and so not as much depth of field either. LM

Amazingly sharp focus Laura! And the colours are so vivid too! Did you use manual or auto focus or spot metering? You sure managed to get those reeds out of focus :) Great work!

Superb colors. Great shot Laura, it was worth all the effort fighting the reeds. Brian R.
