Description

D80 Sigma 70-200 2.8 natural light

Another from the Flamingo's habitat.
This Mandarin Duck appears to be starring at himself as he begins melting into himself
or at least his reflection during his sip of water.

Thanks for all the recent comments. I get a little less comment time these days as I'm into my 51st season of being an OBSESSED N.Y. YANKEE's Fan.


Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/2000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 200.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80
