    Default Fall Shoveler...

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Taken this morning at my local pond... Covid closed it for 6 months and there is now
    no feeding of Ducks which was a hit with the kids but ruined the pond.
    Now it is filling up with Wild ducks and the Mallards are leaving..
    The local Wood Duck population (50 or so) is also wild again which is excellent!!

    very dramatic image!
    Love the blue of the water contrasting with the black BG.
    Nice to see a hint of breeding color above the ye,
    Gail

    Definitely different! I do find the lighting on the head/neck a little harsh though...almost looks like it was taken with flash. Other than that it works for me, and I do like the blue hue in the water.

    Neat! I was surprised at first by the coloured streaks in the water, but it is a really cool effect.

    I'm liking this one....The reflection of the eye and greens above the eye are brilliant. The dk BG looks great against the duck. Different but nice.
