This beautiful drake in breeding plumage was attracted to the seeds I was handing out to the many Mallards around. One of the rare times it was fully isolated from those, and even then I had to remove part of a Mallard along the right edge of the frame.
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/2000s., f/5, ISO 800, natural light,m handheld, eye work to both eyes. I was tempted to remove the bit of tail poking out - I may still do.
