I caught this landing Gadwall landing early one morning on a glass like pond.
Is this a composite? (focus stacks or exposure blends are not considered composites)
no
Very cool capture, Dave. Love the reflection.
Very cool, Dave. I always love how “mirrors” like this show us a different side, literally, of the subject. How else can you see the underside of a gadwall up close?! The photo is also delightfully disruptive of my reality, like, wait a second, I need to hang on the something until I can make sense of this.
@Dave_Douglass That’s really some calm water! I thought it was sky at first and was confused by one of the gadwells seemed to be upside down. 
When I realized it was a reflection, I found that really impressive. It definitely illustrates how calm and quiet the water is.
Dave, the quality of the reflection is excellent and the “surprise” does make for fun viewing.
