Ring-necked Duck

[Dorian Anderson]

Another one from Golden Gate Park in downtown SF earlier this week. Not a ton of action or behavior, but I've never achieved similarly lime-peach water before. So there's that.

The white-black interface on this species is one the single most challenging exposures I've encountered.

Nice low angle and this water is interesting...
I think you could add in some black to the blacks....

Love the water color in this one. Nice swimming pose as well. The framing is right on.

I too, really like the color of the water. Great POV and light.
You have shown the iridescence very well.
The whites on the "shoulder" are so hard not to blow,
