The normal tendency for my merganser (or duck) photography is that the ducks are much farther away than I'd prefer. Occasionally, the reverse occurs, as in the following sequence of two photos.
I had surprised a hooded merganser couple near the close edge of the large pond between the Toftrees game land and the golf course. The disadvantage of a long lens is the difficulty of keeping the subjects in the depth of field (that is, in focus). In the first photo, I concentrated on the male hooded merganser.
