Swimming Mallard Male

My beloved Canon 6D rig was stolen from my car recently. So here's a shot from from my back-up.

A trip to my local pond. . .

Attachment 145994

Canon 450D
Zeiss Sonnar 300/4 @ f/5.6
1/1250 ISO 400
Manual focus and handheld
Usual pp with LR to drop whites/blacks/shadows/highlights
Topaz Denoise, slight luminosity adjustments in PS CC

Thanks for your comments. :)

I'm so sorry to hear about the stolen equipment -- another sad commentary on the state of our world.

It looks like your backup is serving you well. Nice colors and good processing. I like the crop and the nice light on the water. I've always found these guys, with their green heads, hard to shoot.
