    One of my favorite ducks, these birds pose a real challenge in the exposure department.

    Manual mode, f/5.6@1/400 ISO 640 WB 4900K
    AI Servo autofocus, hand-held no flash

    You nailed the exposure on this! The patterns and colors in the water are awesome. It might just be me but the eye looks soft.

    Love the lighting on the duck, Kerry, and that water is fantastic. Topnotch job on the exposure.

    Beautiful image Kerry! I like the exposure control, pose, HA and composition. That water really makes the image special. I would sharpen the eye a little more.
