AP • North-american Wood Duck — had a second chance


Kodiak

Recommended Posts

CORRECTION

This is not a Wood Duck female

but a Mandarin Duck female.

I don't know how to edit, correct the title

 

Right, so my sons are telling me that this time I react

like a teen-ager because I fell in love with this brown-

eyed, small, super cute female Mandarin Duck (surpri-

singly similar to the Wood Duck Female!).

 

I had a second chance at shooting this highly seductive

"girl" and I was not gonna let it pass me by!

 

She is still in the process of getting used to (and finding

her very own little place into) this marsh populated by Mal-

lard ducks and others, Swans, Egrets & Herons, so many

Coots, occasional Gulls and Crows, etc… so she was

staying too close to my shooting position where she feels

safer I shall suppose.

 

The quite variable light conditions on the day are well re-

flected in the renditions.

 

This time, shot with a 300mm ƒ2,8 @ ƒ8 on a D 810.

 

C&C welcomed and appreciated… here we go:

Love every image in this sequence She walks in she does all her seductive and coy poses and finishes by walking off. Superb and great quality. I could not see any sign of it but did you take away a ring from her left leg in number 1, as in 3 she is wearing a ring. Or are you two now engaged after falling in love.  :D

Thanks for that Charlychuck!

Yes, Charles, her chosen choreography is perfect

…now you know how she got me… 

BANG, right there! :wub: :wub:  :wub:

This is the shameful part of this affair!

I did remove the ring… motivated by jealousy in

first place and the desire to show off my skills at

removing  traces of her past!  :P :D :P :D :P

 

In the last one, there was a six foot gap between

the fallen twig and the tree trunk. To impress her, I

did not move the branch but got the tree closer so

she could enjoy more real estate in the frame!  :D
