50% right time, 50% right place, 50% right fluke.

wackwack!
A little handful of duckling lets out a “wackwack!” after emerging from a half-body dive. Canon EOS 400D (XTi) · Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 300 mm · 1/200 s · f/5.6 · ISO 100 Due to its perfect cuteness, this could very well be the last duck/duckling photo I ever take. =)
