une superbe photo avec un piqué de très bonne qualité
votre gallerie sur les photos d'oiseaux est également très interressante
quelle est votre technique d'approche pour photographier les rapaces ?
Bravo encore

Wow, really nice. Almost looks like fill flash on the bird, but must be natural light. Great dof to blur the snowy backdrop.
Beverly Wickersham21-Dec-2005 02:29
Beauty!
Sheila21-Dec-2005 00:48
Great shot once again.
Is that your shadow falling across the duck as you fly next to him? LOL!
joanteno21-Dec-2005 00:39

Another great shot Steve.
Guest 20-Dec-2005 22:45
He totally busted you taking his pic! Maybe he thought you were planning "Duck Under Glass" instead of "Duck Over Ice"?
;)
Guest 20-Dec-2005 19:46
Great, The duck is laughing...

Looks like you shot this out the window of your plane...

Guest 20-Dec-2005 16:48
Awesome shot. The way she fly and the way she look at your lens, it's like she's trying to show-off and saying cath me if you can.. :)
Great capture. :) Vote ~
Cindy Flood20-Dec-2005 16:44
I love the sky and also the drops flying off the duck and emphasizing the action. Great shot, Steve. I always enjoy duck shots...keep them coming!
Gary Hebert20-Dec-2005 16:43

Guest 20-Dec-2005 16:36

LOL

Guest 20-Dec-2005 16:27
Sure it's a nice shot, and your photography is excellent, Steve, but this hoopla is just too much. I mean there's a shadow running across the middle of the subject, the background is a distracting and the framing is a little too tight? Sorry guys, I had to speak up about it, so let's get a little bit of honesty in the process, instead of this chronic reciprocating back-scratching.

Excellent capture Steve! Beautiful hen Mallard.
Rosi Blaurock20-Dec-2005 16:15
