A look at this board and all I see is monotones and here it is October!!
Taken the other day, not quite peak color yet, a few days away.
Wood Duck

This is a great capture! The pose is money and the colors and incredible. Bird is super sharp from bill to feet. Wish for a bit more DOF across the wings, but you were up against it with light already. Might give him a bit more room down and right if you have it.
