    Took this image of a white-faced duck at the Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary in Pretoria, South Africa on 24 July 2011...

    I like the full stretch pose and concentration on the duck's face here!

    Equipment: Canon 7D and 500mm F4 L lens
    Settings: 1/3200s a F5.6 an ISO 800

    I really like the bird, the background, and the sharpness. I only wish the bird wasn't flying away, and had a head angle a bit more toward you.

    Very nice looking duck! Agree with the angle recommendation. Exposure looks VG.

    I love the dynamic pose and super techs, but agree about the subject's angle.

    Just noticed this one. I suppose it would have been nice to have the bird facing more towards you, but that is a fantastic image. Detail is just phenomenal. More than compensates for any issues with the head angle, in my opinion.
