Common Goldeneye
by Dennis Plank
I went out to Nisqually Wildlife Refuge yesterday and spent most of the morning in the fog. It did thin out enough for this one and turned downright gorgeous in the afternoon. I also had fun taking nice moody fog images and I'll probably post one or two of them in the future. The angle here is a bit steep as I was on a boardwalk that's designed to accommodate our fairly large tidal variation and the tide was still pretty far out at the time.

5 commentsWell done and one of my favorite divers. All this needs is to selectively sharpen just the eye--the pupil lacks a crisp edge. Other than that, the comp, exposure and subject are right on...............................Jim
