Lighting was good a little cloudy which was fine. This photo took 3 days of watching this flock of Cinnamon Teal's behavior flying between two ponds. Set up was a few feet in a tree had a friend at the first pond after being excited they should and did fly right in my path.Equipment

My neighbor wanted a Cinnamon Teal photo it's the colors that amaze her plus she lives on Cinnamon Teal. So I was glad to share a few w/ her their hanging in her home and classroom.Editing

This is one of those times hours and days were spent to get the shot . The CT's seem to frequent a few locations and by watching their behavior and learning their patterns gave me the idea for setup and how to approach this shot.
