Testing the Water

I photographed this beautiful duck in the warm afternoon sun at Wakodahatchee Wetlands last week. I thought with it's foot position it looked like it was testing the water. I added the water and reflection. Comments Welcome...

Hi Richard, I love the idea. Most of the water looks really great. I would encourage you to redo the brown and white are just under the bird. I'm not familiar with this bird; but I'll bet his underbelly would be gray and therefore the reflection would be more muted. Nice DOF by the way.

Cheers,

Carol
