One problem with a long lens is keeping the sharpness. Great subject - cuteness exemplified - and right on theme.

Cute little guy! Nice sharp image. 663mm - you must have been a very long ways away.

Nicely done but I would have sharpened after you downsized.

Thanks Forkcandles - I tried cropping out the stick, but it left the bird too pixelated to get that close in. As you can see from my EXIF data, I had pushed my FZ50 pretty hard to get this shot of the bird in the shade at a distance! (I used the extended zoom feature, which I usually avoid.)
Lots of duck competition this challenge!!!

more cropping to lose the stick and emphasis on the Gosling
