This hooded merganser just finished devoured a fairly large crayfish. He immediately began his victory dance . Actuality, he was taking a bath but his pleasure was showing really well in the image. The legs of my tripod was completely flat but the bank of the water at this spot was approximately 2 feet high to get the desired low position of the lens. Oh, well...

At Big Meadows, Shenandoah NP, Virginia.
Plenty of time on my hands. Going through some old digital files and re-making final images. This image made late August 2014 with a Sony A7R and Minolta 20mm f2.8 lens (neither of which I have anymore). f10 ISO 400).
Thanks for looking

I often just wander around towns and look for communal gatherings - like here at the standpipe in Diskit. Many folks actually really enjoy the experience, me too. It's a kind of reverse social distancing .. you meet people in an organic fashion this way. And adding that 50mm lenses have their place for intimate portraits like this one.
