WOW! Mike your Mallard Drake is a AWESOME BIF capture and I just LOVE the look of the water in your second.

Gautam - Amazing candidates for hood ... 'er I guess it's "bonnet" in the U.K. ... ornament sculptures! Your second, the pure white goose, shows the same problem I've had trying to record snowy white egrets. They're just too darn WHITE making everything else way too dark. Just wonder if you've tried some editing tricks to tame the contrast?

Here's a couple more from my loosey goosey files.
