    Default Jolly

    Name: 20210518-Wood-Duck-Drake-Call-Reflection-1-Brian-Sump-BSR51352-7195px-D42-L100brush-touch-5x7-v4.jpg Views: 140 Size: 592.6 KB

    Taken from the same local pond as the portrait from last month. This one, however, is on the water with a jolly (yet bristly) smile to greet us.

    Canon R5
    840mm
    Handheld
    ISO 2500
    1/1250
    f5.6

    LR and PS, DN. A few minor dust flecks/cotton evicted, otherwise as shot. Added a thin sliver of canvas at top for presentation.

    Hi Brian, love the soft light, and you have exposed the colours so well. Sharpness spot on too. Gotta love that calm/smooth water surface, and the upper BG is a killer.

    Jolly indeed. The drake looks great against all that green water. Nice soft reflection as well.
