Mallard Reflection

[Stu Bowie]

You know when there's no wind, when you capture still reflections like this. This mallard was totally relaxed and gently swam around for me to capture all sorts of angles. Removed two dirty marks in the water. Taken this morning at the University of Pretoria Sports grounds.

Stuart:

Excellent reflection, shot at just the right angle to maximize it.
Exposure & light angle good. He really was going slow based on his bow wake.

Cheers

Looks like you guys also had some sun for a change. Great detail. I like the angle of this. A very peaceful scene well captured.
