Bye-Bye, Mike - Northern Shoveler Duck

Flying ducks where my number one subject when I first started bird photography a few years ago, so I guess it's about time that I return to my first love with this offering.

This female Northern Shoveler takes off to leave me high and dry, but not before I got this grab shot.

Canon 7D with 500L f4 lens with 1.4 II extender, handheld @ 1/1000, f5.6, ISO 400, +1/3 exposure compensation.

Since the duck was leaving the frame on the right, I had to crop some dead space behind the duck for composition purposes. About four water droplets behind the duck were cloned out.

Cheers,

Mike
