Nice pic. How far were you from the duck?

Thank you, I was about 20 feet away.

I saved the pic and will try and enlarge it to see the individual strands of hair that make up the duck"s feathers. (pet project of mine as far as researching mites on ducks, but particularly geese). Given the equipment you have, could it have been photographed in an even higher resolution? Not saying this was inadequate, just asking if higher was possible? Thanks.

Actually the resolution of all the images I post here are very low, just 72 dpi. If I had intended to print the image I would have saved it at 300 dpi and that image would be fine to blow up to see detail, but it would have been too large to post.
