Hi All,

I got these two shots with the other ducks yesterday afternoon. I had my 500 on a monopod but had to shoot this handholding it almost straight up.
I almost fell over backwards.
I love the look he is giving me. Sorry for posting such a large file.

    They are both very nice shots, but I'm partial to the first. Well done.

    OK Chris, its time to cut it out. :pissed We have had a harrier hanging out at the wetlands for the past year and I haven't been able to get a decent shot of it. Do you know how these fantastic shots make me feel. :cry

    Think of the rest of us before you post. rolleyes1.gif

    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!"

    Nice shots
    As Harry said, the ones we have here just won't come in close eough.
    They are out in the middle of the wet lands flushing the ducks.
    Tough bird to capture.
    Best Regards
