    Kaustubh you continue to produce these wonderful low angle images. Lovely colour rendition, exposure and sharpness. I particularly like the fine detail in the feathers. How close do you get to the birds.?

    Pieter, all ducks I have posted are quite common here in the winter. I shoot on a couple of urban ponds where they are used to people. And this particular spot is very nice as it is low and under a small bridge. When I lay flat there quietly, they easilly come within 20-25 feet giving me frame filling shots.

    This is a nice low angle image. If you had not explained how you got the shot I would have assumed that you were in the water with a decoy duck on your head!!!

    Lovely detail in those back feathers. I love the crop and the background colour.

    Kaus, I like the fine detail captured here, together with the overall colours. Another excellent low perspective that works so well.
