Duck In Water

[ComputerWhiz]

What was your position? Were you standing? Were you on your belly on the dock? I've even held the camera away and shot roughly blind (no live preview) to get a different angle.

I was lying on the dock on my belly with my arms fully extended through the railing. That was as close as I could get to the target.

Now that's a high dock (at least as the photo makes it look). Most of ours around here are at most a couple of feet off the water allowing for eye-level with the fowl.

Yes, the dock was quite high making an eye level shot impossible.
Maybe next time I will be able to think of a way to get closer to the duck.
