As a fan of portraits it's about time I participate in this month's theme eh! This is a rather tame lady Wood Duck that has been hanging out in a small patch of open water with some Mallards and a few American Black Ducks. I took a chance that she would take food and ended up inside my 100-400's 6 foot MFD.
Canon 7D + 100-400L @300mm, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/400s., f/8, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, full frame, eye work, a large oof falling snow flake removed below the nape.
Exemplary portraiture, technically spot on. I like the little details - snow flakes and water droplets and the featureless oof snow background is very acceptable in this type of image. No down-side for me. Regards, Ian
