I GOT A WOODY!!!

[captainshane]

I have wanted a picture of a wood duck for some time now. I went out this morning to a area where I might find them and I found a pair!

[Jim Almquist]

Awesome color!!!

What a sweet find!

Lets hope they nest so you can get a few shots of the little ones.

Way to go.

And a very pretty one, too!

[Todd Caswell]

very nice colors for such a grey day. Is there a more colorfull duck in the spring? I don't think sooo woody's rule....

Nice! I have a spot a few blocks from home that I hope to see them in soon. :>)

Congrats. It took me few years to finally get a good one that I really liked.

Great shot.. lovely use of the reflection!

[j_pallen]

you took a really great picture! you have made advantage of the lighting and you really made use of the good color contrast that made the duck stand out from the background.

Done like a real pro! looking forward to more pictures from your work!

Thanks everybody. It was a dark cloudy day so I was surprised with the outcome.

J_Pallen, how's life in the UK? I was born on a United States Air Force Base other there. My mother is English. Feel free to post pictures of the English countryside for me. Going to England is on my bucket list!
