I especially like the colourful photo of the Mandarin Duck and the Northern Shoveler with the waterdrops flying around. Awesome.

A very colourful bird. I like the pose and composition. But is the photo a little overexposed?

Thanks! These were all R5 MK II w/the RF600 f/4L IS + 1.4x. Tried doing everything handheld this last year, mostly successful, except for long periods of watching a GHO nest.

Thank you! We did get lucky having a Mandarin pair come in this year and stay at a local campground/fishing park. Hoping for ducklings this year even if they are 'invasive'.

Thanks for commenting. It's not overexposed, the colors really pop when the light hits the feathers just right. However, the jpeg compression has really messed with the quality of the image. I'm traveling at the moment but will upload a higher resolution file once I return.
