The ducks have been mating like there's no tomorrow in an area where many of us go to photograph Hooded Mergansers.

Canon 7D with 500L f4 lens with 1.4II extender on a Jobu Scorpion ground pod @ 1/800, f 5.6, ISO 400, +1 1/3 exposure compensation. A slight crop to lower the horizon. A small floating leaf clonned away behind the tail.

Cheers,
Mike
