    For those who didn't care for the ripples in my last post, here's the drake of the species, taken at the same location the following morning. Estero Llano Grande, TX, November 2017. Evicted a few twigs from the upper BG.

    D500, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 3200, 1/2500s @ f/6.3 manual.

    I loved the wet look and waves but this classic serene look is equally wonderful. Whole different range of mood in both. TFS

    A lovely high key rendition of a handsome drake. I'd like to see the bird a bit higher in the frame. Easy to do by adding some canvas below.

    Count me in the camp that prefers this image without ripples!
    Nice reflection as well!
