I had not looked at this closely before, but this is very cool...the way you stopped time...the way you caught the water slipping over her neck and trembling in front of her beak...just fantastic.

Behind The Lens
Location
Oklahoma city botanical gardensTime
3 pm (cloudy and rainy day)Lighting
It was all natural lightEquipment
Sony A230, Tamron 70-300 mm 4.5Inspiration
I used to go and photograph ducks and geese all the time after work. There were many of them at the botanical gardens, they were used to people and being fed. It was my favorite recreational time.Editing
I enhanced exposure, because the light has changed quickly and I did not want to miss the moment. The weather was getting bad (it was a rainy, stormy day), so the original photo came out underexposed.I cropped the image to make it more dramatic, and I added some sharpness to itIn my camera bag
Canon 3D Mark ii, 50mm canon lens, light reflector, yongnuo flash.Feedback
Have lots of patience and try over and over and over again. Some day you may get lucky (i got lucky that one time)
