Very nice capture of this pond and the mallard taking flight Yves. He brings this lovely scene to life with his presence.

Thank you Heather. I love that shot and was quite ennoyed that the duck was not sharp. I love to work with my 400mm+2X setup but the price to pay is a lack of lighting. I must check the speed and adjust the ISO more often before shooting problems. I still miss some but getting better every session..

A very tranquil composition Yves. The calmness, colours and duck make for the very relaxing mood.

Thanks Debra.

Description
Unfortunately the speed of 1/600 was not enough to get a perfect frosen duck but I like very much the overall composition and lighting of the picture.
