Surely becoming one of my favorite ducks, this female Ring-Necked wasn't shy and came within full frame distance (@700 mm). I took a similar shot with her body parallel to the camera, but thought this one gave it a bit more dimension. Thoughts?
Definitely an easier exposure in bright sunlight (when compared to the male ring-necked).
Shooting Info:
Canon 5D3 | 500 f/4 II + 1.4x III
1/3200 | f/7.1 | ISO 640
Yes its an easier exposure but this one had a better angle to the sun and the sensor than your last shot of the drake. I like the feather detail and the laxed looking eye with the sharp catchlight in it.
Nice comp too. Nice work.
Hi Miguel, this angled pose really works well, and I do like the light. Excellent detail and sharpness on the head and beak - the finer detail shows up so well. You couldnt have chosen a better BG to compliment the duck.
