Back-lit Woodie

[Bonnie Block]

Wood duck male--I was astonished to see out on the shore with the other ducks. But, unfortunately it did not get to better light and my movement caused it to leave.

I like the backlighting. The shadow side is open enough and shows good detail.

I like this shot very much. It looks like he's looking right at you. The water drops on the breast add a nice touch, too.

not the best light but you pulled it off nicely, good exposure and details. HA is nice too.
