This young individual allowed close approach this summer. It was, however, always with some reeds in the way for me to get down as low as I usually prefer. This was fine on this occasion where the reflections were "decent-ish" (but far from prefect), and the view of the water being stirred up by its movements made more visible by the higher vantage point. I liked the water patterns of this frame best out of the series of that morning's session.
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/500s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, small crop for comp, a few specks removed from the water, (spot removal) reduced the highlights in the chin area (burn tool).
