This was shot yesterday in Arapaho National Wildlife Reserve in North Park, CO

Canon 1D Mark III, 500 f/4 w/ 1.4X TC II, ISO 200, 1/1600 @ f/7.1

Very appealing water and warm light !!! Love the still conditions I like the placement showing the trailing wake, would prefer the duck not swimming away at an angle. Killer reflection !!!

[Gus Cobos]

Nice pano, I like the water trail and the blue water...:cool:

[Robert Amoruso]

This is so cool looking Fred. The soft light, blue water, reflection and composition/crop all make this a winner. If the duck was swimming towards you it would be way over the top. As presented, certainly a keeper and I would be glad to have one like this.

Lovely image with wonderful reflection and the trailing water gives this image a great sense of movement. Love the lighting and pretty blue water which all makes for a very pleasing image.. A keeper for sure !!

I called to him but he wouldn't turn and swim toward me.
I did spot out a lot of debris in the water. I thought perhaps my sensor was incredibly dirty but it wasn't.
Thanks again.
Fred

I just love this color combination, the calm water and gradient of dark to light in the background. The bird ain't bad lookin either!

He was a prime specimen. His mate and he had a nest on the shore. No eggs were showing but who knows.
