I have been trying to capture photos of these colorful guys in colorful reflections – I love bright colors, but this might be color overload!
This was shot right at the last light of day yesterday. You might think the water is orange from a sunset sky. Actually, the warm sunlight was illuminating the bark on the palm trees lining the shoreline of a nearby island. I got down low, close to the water, to increase the area of the reflected glow on the water created from these warmly illuminated palm trees. I then waited for a wood duck to swim through the colorful water. I needed to use flash to light the duck as he was actually in the shade.

glad you got your shot Ron. when i was doing one of my cross-country trips, i took what I considered to be my best shot of the trip near the end and after that I felt strangely relaxed, like I didn’t care anymore if I got anymore good pictures or not.
Thanks Richard! I know what you mean, sometimes it words better when you don’t try so hard.
i drew a picture of a duck with bright orange water but my dad said it was ugly.
go to artsonia.com type in janine62 and look at my wood duck
That is too bad your dad said that – keep trying!
