salut Michel

dans des conditions difficile tu as fait une suprbe image,
avec un excellent POV et DOF, j'aimes le cadrage panorama,
j'aime surtout ton POV qui est à la hauteur du sujet
avec un excellent DPF à l'arrière-plan,
superbe netteté et détails même de la pluie, TFS

Hi Michel

This guy looks like he is 'hunkered down' against the cold and rain. I love the colours in these ducks. Lovely shot. Thank you! :-)

Bonjour Michel,

Très bonne photo de ce canard sous la pluie. Il n'a pas l'air de trop apprécier d'ailleurs. Les détails et les couleurs du plumage sont excellents.
Bonne journée,

Hi Michel,
Great capture, love the rain drops bouncing off the water.
Very good DOF, details, color, exposure, and low POV.

Hi Michel.
Brilliant image of the bird and rainy surroundings in every aspect. What is ISO 400 for Mark III? Nothing. Terrific sharpness, details and colours. I like your strong cropping a lot. It is so impressive and suitable for the scene. Bravo.

Hi Michel,
You can actually see it's been a bad weekend. Don't worry. The image is okay! Sometimes it is great to spot(and photograph) animal behavior in rainy conditions...
Well done

An atmospheric shot of this Wood Duck, Michel!
Very, very sharp and crystal clear!
Great composition and low-down POV.
There's seems to be a brownish tinge to the shot but maybe these are the natural colours?
Great DOF and focusing.
Well done,

Joe

Hi Michel. Even the Duck looks fed up with the weather. You have done well with the small amount of light you had. which has given you fine detail and colour. We can see the water droplets on its back. well done TFs.

Bonjour Michel,

Le canard des bois est impressionnant sous la pluie. La prise de vue permet de voir avec précision les détails et les couleurs du canard. Le sujet est bien cadré. Il y a un bon contraste entre les couleurs. Bonne journée.

What a shot! Those raindrops on his body show up well Michel.
Theya re beautiful birds, aren't they? And the rain worried you - but not this attractive male Wood Duck - is it also known as Caroliner Wood Duck?
Well done
Janice
