Description

Hi, Ths shot was taken 2 days ago. I spent few hours to playing a game with the ducks...wich was,''run after us,If you can''....lol..I had a specific composition in mind and wanted a specific capture...so I had to lay on the ground and try to approach gently ..without having them to escape ...but honnestly...wearing a pink fushia windcoat was not a terrific idea ...to hide in the grass...lol... finally, they took accomodation of me and let me approach a few seconds and I took few shots This is a first one...the most difficult for me to get...and was happy like a child proud of the mud on my clothes ;-) Photography awake the child in me wich is a great precisous gift! Hope you enjoy and thank's a lot for viewing :-) Lumix DMCFZ10 zoom leica 30 420 f2,8 and processed in psp as to increase saturation, blur the background and took off a dark shadow on the foreground duck! Edited and posted a 2nd version , the first one was overexposed! thank's to Andreas for telling so!

Gorgeous capture!!! Sooooo shiny, almost metallic. Very nice indeed!!! Slightly overexposed but your DOF compensates for that. Have a great weekend #:O)

What a great capture... don't believe I've seen one head-on like this. Wonderful coloring in the head and chest area.

Ah ah ah, I like your story... I can imagine the scene... I'm just like you, making my friend desperate, when I stop in the middle of the road for shoting, or when I go and lie on the ground like you... Very nice angle ! Cool duck ! :~)
