Great Shot, Ed! Nice bokeh, too. It's for the wall . I was not so fascinated with ducks until the posts here . These quack-quacks have a lot to show off. telyd

My share..... 400D + EF100-400mm 1/180s f/8.0 at 400.0mm iso200 Exquisitely beautiful, Nestor. The water is perfect.... you can turn the image over and the reflection can pass off as the real bird!

Masterful capture and PP job, Reyno.... love the fine detail which contrasts with the smooth water. Haven't had any luck taking a mirror-like reflection of a bird. This one's the closest I can get to match the theme. This shot of a Pied-billed Grebe was taken under overcast skies and I think twas kindda tricky to expose. In Aperture Priority and Center-weighted Average (while the focus-AE lock was turned off - you can do this in custom function), I exposed on the brightest area nearest the bird and compensated @ +1. Made the reading and turned the dial to manual as the light was fairly constant. Here's how the final shot looked like. (1DMKII + 500+1.4X F7.1 1/800s ISO200 RAW Handheld)

Wow wonderful captures in all!! I think I have one for this motif. Except for the wayward blade of grass it would have been much better. Black Winged Stilt ( Himantopus himantopus) - 30D + 300mm f4 + 2x Kenko TC (600mm), 1/2000, f8, ISO-500, handheld RAW Cheers, Wow... I didn't know that stilts are found in Hardin too!
