Fall: Wood Duck in Habitat

[Bill Dix]

#3 in the series. Taken shortly after sunrise, one morning last September, at Brigantine NWR.

Bill:

Nicely composed re: position in frame. Well exposed.

I do find all the vertical stems near the bird, and the blue reflections a bit distracting, mainly because the subject is of modest size, and we tend to scan the image more in this type of frame.

Cheers

Very nice composition, color, exposure and sharpness on the bird. The OOF background and foreground help to draw the eye onto the bird. And the soft early morning light worked well.
