We found this Greater Scaup proudly escorting her 9 ducklings around a marsh pond in Iceland in 2012. The pond was being shared with two Red Divers and their 2 young ones. C&C welcome.
D3s, Nikon 500mm f4.0, 1/1600s, F 4.0, ISO 800, Gitzo tripod, Wimberley Gimbal head.
This one made me smile!
Obviously a pano crop is the way to go! Mom has a good head turn towards us which strengthens the image considereably.
Because this is Iceland, I am assuming this was a grey dull day?
