1-2 should be juvenile wood ducks and 3 is a mallard.

Awesome shots, I really like the 3rd one, well done

Very nice Bobo. I like the composition in all three, the ducks are sharp with good focus and I just love the water in #1.

Cheers Dave

[Bobobird]

Thanks Toby and Dave.

[jambin]

Nice crisp shots, all three.

[Bobobird]

Thanks Jim, all credit should go to the lens. All I do is point and shoot.

LOL! Bobo, that lens won't do a thing on it's own! Fortunately, it has your skill to rely on! Nice shots!

[Bobobird]

Hehe, thanks Frank.
The day I stop taking bad shots will be the day to admit to having any skills...

These are great pictures - is it possible to find out on site what the details are - eg lens, speed, ap ISO etc and if you used a polarising filter?

[Bobobird]

Thanks Francis.
Unfortunately Picasa does not do the simple things that we expect from a photo storage/sharing site. On the positive side compared to the measly free mbs on Flickr, Picasa at 1gig is pretty neat.

The lens is the Canon 70-300 L. No filters.

Direct links to the 3 pics are here. Click on "full details page" on the right for exif info.

A couple more from the same duck shoot.

Hi Bobo,

Good series, very good.

Although if I am honest, the last doesn't work for me, too much sharpening?

Cheers,

[GeorgeM]

Nice series, Bobo, especially the first three.

[Bobobird]

Thanks George.

Thanks Dave, thanks for the helpful tip, must be the monitor again leading me to overdo it a bit. Will scale back.

[Bobobird]

2nd set redone and replaced.

[fannett]

Thanks very much! You're right about Picasa! Keep going!
