Duck Fly-by at Lake Merced, Nikon D100, Nikkor 85mm f1.8D, 1/250 f8. Posted by Hello

Notes: The challenge was to get some decent shots at Lake Merced on an overcast, flat day. I followed this duck along the bland shoreline until he got to this interesting point. It kind of reminded me of some shots I took at a Blue Angels airshow. --Warren

Nice photo. Composition is balanced. The texture of the ripples in the water is good. This photo may be more effective in black and white. Do you notice if the 85mm lens is any sharper than your zoom?

Another reason I like this photo is different than others. I don't have anything against the other photos that have been posted but I have seen similar photos before.

Martin! You de-lurked! Yes, the new 85mm is sharper than my zoom lenses. For its maiden voyage, I took it out to Lake Merced for some shots. I have a few more to post later. --Warren
