Wow, how did you manage to get so close to it? Or do you have a super-fancy zoom? Either way, really nice picture. :3 Personally, I find it quite difficult to photograph animals; getting them in focus is the challenge. But you really captured the duck well, nonetheless--well done!

Ducks in the city are too fat and they are slow

I have a lot of time and 70-200 zoom lens

Thx

How did you get the duck to pose for you?!

Would I be able to use this for a piece of music I"m just making for fun ?

She was not posing. I just laid on the snow and was waiting for good moment .

Use it! Your welcome. Just show me it then .

This is a very nice, classical pose.
The snow is somewhat over exposed but that's not too objectionable.

The other duck photo is better exposed for the snow but I like the profile pose best.
You should see the small difference if you compare the EXIF of the two shots.

Good luck with future shooting. You have started well.

On first photo I used F-number 3,2, on second 3,5 - and that't the major difference. Depth of field is a little bit larger and the snow looks better there, where 3,5 was used. I schould use 4 or more, but i like small depth.

That is the joy, the challenge and the frustration of photography.
Small adjustments can make significant change and each of us must decide what best suits our personal taste.
Sometimes I wish for a perfect formula and sometimes I love the discovery and the unexpected.
