I just altered a wheelchair so I can carry all the equipment I need without fear of falling. Tried it out Saturday and it works well. I was able to do it all alone. I went to one of the city parks that have a paved walk around the pond. Here is a Canvasback that liked to pose. Pretty well full frame. Comments welcome.

Way to go on the wheelchair alterations. And Canvasback is one tough duck. You have done very well here with a great EXP & SH and a perfect head angle. I would lose the white thing on the bill.

Pretty impressive that you can carry all the equipment without any help! Very nice portrait, head angle and BG. I might sharpen the bird a bit more and increase contrast a tad.
