Default The Wood Duck

Photographers Comments
I have been going out for the last 3 days to try to get a decent image of these beautiful ducks before they move on and am having a terrible time. This was taken in not the best light with a 300 lens with a 2X tele converter- f 5.6,ISO 200 at 1/100. Could not auto focus and missed the focus doing it manually. Also tried the 400 lens with less than stellar results. Did try different camera settings and was just not being sucessful at all. Very frustrating. Was using a tripod and the birds were a fair distance away but gosh sure think I should be able to get a sharper image. Help needed.

Beautiful shot, good construction. You perfectly described how this bird can fade into its environment.
