Great to able to get out with a camera after 2 years of too busy! But this was captured before work just after sunrise. Common Eider male - my favorite duck!
1/1600 at f6.3 - iso800, 1DmkIII on 500 f4 IS hand held - manual exposure. Bob
Glad you are able to go out! I can see why this is your favorite duck, it's a beauty! Sharp, well exposed, and I like the water. Not my favorite wing position, and I feel you could crop tighter if the IQ can take it. Perhaps some CW rotation while you're at it. Hope you get to go out more often now!
I liked this a lot. the thumbnail does not do justice. the wavy dark water, beautiful bird at nice angle, low over the water....the reflection also adds a lot. Well done.
