Last minute capture...do I think it's the greatest? Not really. The duck could be better in focus, but I do like the blur that's portraying the speed of the duck coming in for a landing. So hopefully I don't get beaten up on it :)
Only had a few moments to focus on this guy before he landed. Shot close to dusk, my camera was in motion tracking him at the last minute. Didn't quite get a complete focus, but I like the shot overall.
Post processing was minimal. Since I'm on holiday, did it on my work laptop. Just some level adjustments, a bit of Gaussian blur to the water and some sharpening.
I need more focal length to get up close an personal for these type of shots. My 24-105 only gets me so far!
