    Very sharp Mital - 800 looks like a great lens. Nice looking duck, looks like our Hardhead. I may just clone the highlight spot between the eye and bill.

    What's more remarkable than your fine capture of a beautiful bird is that you held this lens in your hands!

    Love the low angle and the way the bird is placed in the frame.

    Beautiful clean image with great details. I appreciate it may be the angle from which it was taken but he looks like he is swimming downhill to me. There is a small feather on one of the dark reflections, it doesn't bother me but once you spot it I think you do tend to look at it again.
