Mandarin Duck - a photo on Flickriver

Mandarin Duck

            This beauty took us about 20 minutes to find. Once we did, It was a chorus of shutters for a good hour and a half, at close range. There wasn't many areas to get on the ground to get that special pov. For this shot, I under exposed it 1.3 stops to darken the background. Using the new "Masking" tools in Lightroom, I was able to just bring out the duck, very easily.
