Backlit

By KingArthur
Shot captured last December while out on a birding sortie down by the shore.

The late afternoon sunlight offered this challenging shot as this Mallard sped low and swiftly towards me ..... zooming in, I obtained a good lockon and released a short burst managing to capture this pleasing frame. The backlighting really standing out here.

Action Gear -
Camera: Nikon D500
Lens: Sigma 60-600mm at 600mm

Have a great week,
Joe Smile
