Lesser Scaup - The Female's Turn In The Spotlight.
She was the companion to the male I posted a few days ago, they were always following each other around. All the other scaups in the pond seemed to be "single" and going about their own business solo. To photograph her, I waited until she was ahead of the male as otherwise there was an ugly white line in the water from the male's wake leaving a trail behind and across the frame, most often across the reflection, thus spoiling the water and image.
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/2000s., f/5.6, ISO 1600, natural light, handheld, just about FF (after a small rotation).
