Finally I would not want to be a homewrecker here...I needed to post the female duck or she'd be jealous, right? I'm sure she's wondering what took so long for me to get to it. ;)
So, here's a shot of the female duck. This one gets the lighting from the other side and a different angle/color of Schoenbrunn in the back. The colors of the building match the duck perfectly.
This should also answer the grassy knowl wooden duck theory I think ;)
Got bread?

very nice!
the colors of the duck work really well with the colors of the background.
keep it up!

Fantastic job of capturing the duck and background. For me the lighting really makes the shot and I think you have done a good job capturing this on a pic.

~nice tight crop and DoF to seperate the bird from teh bg, a bit of tough light here, could edit and reduce the hotter whites and the glare a bit...~

Zowie, that's close! Nice and crisp, love this one.

Ha! That is truly one of the coolest pictures of a duck I've ever seen!

Great colors. I like the diagonals created by the shadows.

Fantastic image .... I'm a huge bird fan -- especially ducks -- okay, any bird -- this is a really nice shot... She's a beaut...

Wow!!! This photo is pure stunning. It felt so peaceful.

aashish, Adriana: I was waist over the edge and B was keeping the duck happy with bread :) As I said in the post, I was half in the water to get the perspective.
Daniel - thanks for the nice words. I/we enjoy it...glad you do too.
Bob- I'll keep my eye out for some more opps ;)
Cheers, -Tom

T & B, this is a crap ..... ha ha ha .. just kidding :)
This is perfect. The lighting, DOF, background, and the angle are perfect. I love the texture on her feathers and also the background. This is really a great DOF example.
Posted by AJ at April 9, 2005 06:29 PM
Nicely done - the light is just perfect.

Posted by Crash at April 10, 2005 04:35 PM
Wow! I can't believe she let you get so close!

Nice lighting, great shot! I hope you didn't hurt yourself leaning down so far to get right down to the duck's leve! Worth it! It makes the picture!
Posted by Jan at April 13, 2005 01:44 PM
hey, you've also got a duck :)
Posted by n3on at April 14, 2005 10:56 PM
Great work with the DOF on this. The building is still discernable, but blurred enough to seperate from the duck.
