Baited. This image was created at the infamous wall of shame on Oakley St in Cambridge, Maryland on 2/9/20 at 2:45PM. Image processed in Lightroom and Photoshop. Love the neck on these ducks reminds me of a whitetail.

Pretty much perfect. Love every single detail and that creamy water BG. You continue to kill it with that new lens. How close here? TFS
ps
That eye...

[Dorian Anderson]

Razor shop, killer eye contact, excellent exposure. He must have been very close if f/8 didn't get the nearest flank in perfect focus. It's no matter, the frame works wonderfully as is.

I like this crop a lot better than the first one.
Great close up.

How close here? This was probably right at minimum focusing distance. I think it's something like 15 feet maybe 16.
