Still experimenting with woodies
I've had some fun trying to get wood duck pictures lately. This is one from a couple days ago. I think I am getting better at either exposing them or processing them. This guy was "bathing" in the river and this click caught him shedding water!

Man, what an amazingly vibrant species they are! How could one not be mesmerized by them? Very nice environmental capture Lon, love the action. :toast:

Beautiful Color Lon. Nice capture. When I first saw the title I had a flash back to the early 60's in Southern California when I had a '48 Ford Woodie. Still my favorite car. Sorry about that rambling - it's an old guy thing....

This one has been processed perfectly! I now like Wood Ducks more that I ever thought possible.

Lon: What a delightful subject and a fine action capture. I'm not a bird guy but this transcends genre IMO. Well done.>=))>
