This female Mallard blends in well with the colours of the morning Fall background as she prepares her oversized galoshes for a water landing.

Canon 5D Mark III with the 500L f4 lens handheld @ 1/800, f4, ISO 400 +2 exposure compensation.

Just a slight crop for frame formatting purposes and the usual basic adjustments, contrast, sharpening etc.

Cheers,
