Snowy Mallard

Not to everyone's taste I'm sure but I liked the view. This is a low level shot with the bird behind a small snow hummock.

EOS-1Ds MkII, 500 f/4L IS, tripod, gimbal head

Thanks

Well I like it.

And I actually like that one! It's a very unusual look on our weather and birds, so it's a good job done.
Only one slight criticism, though; while I do appreciate the importance of copyrighting your work and in this case it's justifiable, but . . . well, your "stamp" is very distracting! But it's probably because it had to be placed on what is a very simple background so it stood out a lot!

And this one's a cracker

Thanks.

Ian - I understand your concern but I'm not comfortable posting without some form of copyright as I've seen stuff appear elsewhere before. I agree on this background it is a touch distracting and all I can do is apologise!

looks like the terminator emerging out of the mist!

Thanks guys. Looks like the concensus is that lying in the snow on a frozen loch was worth it then!

I like this, it really works well with the open beak
