Another shot from the local pond. This one is nearly full frame and cropped to panel view. Wish I had more room on the left side to include all of the lily pad on the far left.
Is this a composite: No
Iso-640, 400+1.4 X, F5, 2500th, A7r4, nearly full frame
Nice one David. Well framed with the lily pads. Water looks good and nice reflection. Te left lily pad as is is fine for me. It might be nice to have all of it, but then I think you would also need more on right side to keep balanced. Pretty duck.
Excellent image of the Wood Duck, David. The positions of the lily pads work well in this image.
PS I went there this morning but the birds weren’t very cooperative and the sun didn’t start coming out until well after I left.
Nice colors and detail and I like how the duck is framed by the lily pads.
A fine look at this beautiful duck, David. Lovely colors and a nice composition. Well done.
Beautiful shot. I like that the duck is clear of the vegetation. The chopped off leaf does not bother me. I wish I had more opportunities with Wood Ducks. Such pretty birds!
