Beautiful pictue Stephan!

Image is sharp and well exposed. Even if DOF is quite shallow, it brings attention on the eye and the beak. The low sun gives a beautiful light and your low POV is very effective.
Great shot and TFS.

Stephan,
I really like this picture. Razor sharp with the light nicely falling on the head. Actually I'm thinking of buying the canon 300 f/4 and this picture makes my descision easier.
Thanks for posting

Hi Stephan,
Its a good portrait of this duckling. I find the DOF a bit shollow, you had room for a smaller aperture to at least get
the end of the beak in focus. The details in the head and eye is great. And I really like the low POV, did you get wet.:-)
Lovely colours and well composed.
Very well done.

What a great shot this is! I love how you have captured such a detailed shot of the duckling's face. I sort of like the shallow DOF it makes the photo seem more like a portrait shot, which is probably what you were aiming for. However that glare is a little distracting in the background, I created a workshop to make it a little distracting!
