One more before surgery

[Sharna Lee]

Hi Everyone,
I'm heading off to surgery in a couple of days and I wanted to post just one more shot before I went.
I went to the park today and after reading part of Arties first BAA book I think I have a better handle on lighting.
This one is my favorite mallard picture that I've taken.

Canon 40D, 100-400L IS, Aperture Priority, Handheld.
F/5.6, 1/800ss, ISO 200 @ 400mm.



C&C appreciated.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. I've been waiting 4 years to have this procedure.
And thanks for the comments on the picture. I've been working on improving my lighting and thanks to Artie I think I have a better understanding of it.
