Congratulations Melissa!!!
Canon 1D4
500m
Gitzo/Wimberley
crouched low at water's edge
ISO 400
1/1250 sec
f/5.0
Taken during wood duck workshop with Matthew Studebaker in Oct at Chagrin ponds, Ohio. I liked the wing flap, the water splashes, and the tail position. And the low angle. Thanks to Matthew for constantly stressing the importance of this.
Some might wish for a better head angle but I thought since body slightly turned toward us, head directed straight ahead was ok.
I lightened some dark patches in the background. Crop of maybe 30%. Sharpening. Some recovery in whites.
I greatly appreciate all C and C. Thanks for looking
