There were several of these in with the Coots that I photographed at Ridgefield a week ago.  I ended up addign a fair amount of canvas on the bottom and left of this to get the composition I wanted around the reflection.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 468 mm, beanbag on car window, f/11, 1/1250, iso 1250, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 EV.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Added canvas to make a 25 MP 4x5 before resizing.  Taken at 10:17 AM on December 6th.

Comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Nicely done on the duck, with accurate color and brightness. Something funky is going on with the front of the bill in the reflection?

Beautiful colors, and I like these dimensions.
