Just an ole duck doing what it takes to get the girlees. These guys are long gone, they don't stick around here in the summer. These were taken in June.
40d, 400 5.6L
Thanks for peeping at them.

I am yet to see a cinnamon teal but here you are posting the captures of one of the most beautiful ducks. I am jealous.
Tim, Excellent set. #2 and 3 are my favorites. Great colors and feather details.

Tim, these are really pleasing images of a beautiful subject. Colors and detail are very good. I like the pose in the first shot and the feel of the last one.
Socrate
Hey Mr Tim
#1, ya I could do that too about 40 years ago that is one wild pose there my friend
#2 I like this shot, although a bit too centered for me
#3 was that a viagra bath no comment
#4 just beautiful, that one green feather is something I did not notice before, sure are pretty ones, I'll bet you are already looking forward to their return
Super shots Tim,it's always best to get this water-level perspective but not always do-able unless you wanna be in muck up to your ankles. I've always had issues getting the details on CTs; these are really good!

Thanks Karl. How would you crop a shot like 2? I understand not wanting it centered but how else would you crop it and why? Inquiring minds.....

ya what Lil said, he can really twist around, I normally don't agree with Ant, but #2 is my fav also. Great job.
Thanks Chad, it's okay to agree with Anthony now and again.

Thanks for the kind words Steve. This time I was lucky, I was able to lay down on nice dry dirt for these shots. The diffused light from the cloud cover helped tremendously.
