Male Wood Duck, or "Carolina" Duck. As with everyone's blogs here, this looks better enlarged, IMHO.

Serenduckity: Better to be a lucky duck than good!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've seen some comments around the photoblog site that suggest 'ducks' may be not be the subject of choice for some bloggers! However, I rather like this shot of a Wood Duck. I did crop some of the foliage reflection from the top of the image, as it seemed a bit distracting to me.

For anyone interested in the EXIF data (I usually am!):
Focal Length: 200mm
Shutter Speed: 1/30"
Aperature: F8
ISO: 1600
Handheld (and no, I do not have IS or VR lenses! ... yet!!!)

eljapa You can see the noise but its not to bad for a 1600 iso shot!

you've got a steady hand:-)

emilith9 It looks like a painting.
If I didn't know that it was a picture,
I'd think it was a painting.


But it is beautiful.
It's in my favorites.

vollenda LOL - I LOVE ducks and their utter quackiness and variety. Your title made me laugh, excellent title. But your photo is exquisite. Beautiful duck in a beautiful jewel toned water.
