    Hey Johno,

    This is why I hate shooting ducks. Its very hard to isolate the sucker w/o 2-3 of his buddies getting into the shot. Your main subject is fine and you have nice feather detail even though you blew out the white feathers, The problem is those fellers behind your subject.

    You have to either open up your aperture to get a shallower dof so they get blurred and become less of a distraction or you have to step down the aperture to get them into focus.

    I have dozens of duck shots like this and I usually end up sending them to my cull file.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
