Exotic Duck
When I read that Mandarin Ducks had been sighted, I woke up at 4:30 to miss the morning rush to try and capture them. I was lucky, he was right where he had been the day before.
Because he was in the shade, I had to adjust my settings accordingly: ISO - 1000, f / 4.0, 1/250 sec. To get a shot at eye level, I laid on my stomach on wet dirt where the birds had gathered (you get the picture).
I have many more that I still need to see, but I was so thrilled to get this shot that I processed the first good shot I saw so I could post it tonight.
