Mandarin Duck

Canon 1DMKIII • 500 mm • 1/1250 • f/5.6 • ISO 320 • handheld • manual

During the winter we get a few of these ducks at different locations occasionally, this one is from a couple of years ago.

Thanks for looking.

Wow Tim, a stunning image of a truly magnificent bird. Wonderful colors and lighting, and sharp in all the places it needs to be. When I see things like this I understand what attracts people to this discipline. I particularly like the turbulent water ripples in front of the bird, seems to add an extra dynamic to the image and turn it into more of an action shot than a static portrait.

Cheers, David

Very nice. The lighting is pleasing and the duck beautiful. I have never seen one in person so thanks for sharing.

Looks as though this male is doing a little bit of flirting or showing off! The light and pose are lovely.
