Avian Image of the Week for the week ending August 31st, 2012: Josh Clark - Black-bellied Whistling Duck

Congratulations Josh!

Whenever I am in Ocala Florida I try and make it a point to photograph these guys. This was taken at a private residence in Florida. Pretty regular visitors at this location during the summer months. Always fun to photograph. Came away with lots of portrait shots. I liked this one in particular because it is different from the norm. The neck trails off into the grass because the duck was on the backside of a down slope from a hill giving the image this appearance. Thanks for looking and C&C is always welcome and appreciated.

Canon 7d, 1/1000sec @ f/4.5, ISO 200, 500mm f/4L, natural lighting at 6: 57pm

Josh,
This is a most unique image with the head exiting the grass, deserving of image of the week, a great take for sure!
