Duckface (actually a swan)

First time I shoot an animal, it kinda took me by surprise, it mistook the camera for a piece of bread :)

I should have tried to level with the horizon and probably use smaller f

Criticism is more than welcome :)

    Nah, no smaller f/stop, in my opinion. You managed to get both the bill AND the eyes in focus, and that's what gives the "I'm all up in your business" feel to it. Great shot!

    As for the horizon, yea in a perfect world we always try for those nice flat water lines. But in reality, when a swan is eating your lens, you just snap what you can :)

    Welcome to Dgrin Vlado!

    Nice shot under those circumstances! Never gotten quite that close to one of these guys with a camera in hand.
