Australian Wood Duck - duckling

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

One evening as I arrived at college for night class after work, I found a mother/father Wood Duck in an oval on campus. So quickly I got the camera and began to get closer, laying prone in my nice clothes :D to get the best possible angles. Here is a babe, solo, lost in a field of greenery. Cropped to 70% of original.

30D, 300mm f/4L IS USM + 1.4x, ISO 800, f/5.6, 1/500th, handheld. Fill flash with beamer. At about -1 1/3
