Default Duckling

I haven't taken many wildlife photos, but wanted to try and shoot something different.
Let me know if this works or not



Thanks for looking

I am just learning to shoot wildlife as well. I am no expert but I think this is a beautiful shot. The focus and composition work.

Nice shot...very timely. It's all about being at the right place at the right time.

Nice timing. always use the multi-shot setting and don't take your finger off the shutter button

A very nice shot. The duck is adorable, I love how you captured the moment right before he takes the plunge. Good job for anyone, let alone a beginner.
