When I saw the duck go under water I knew what was coming and composed in preparation.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Good prep Morris. Difficult to get those birds to read the composition manuals and put themselves in the spot of sun isn't!! Very clean image.

I've recently learned about this behavior too, now I'm always watching for which ones dip underwater. Would love to go back to some lakes and capture more images of them doing this. Really nice shot with some motion!

Thank you,

Wood ducks are much easier to photograph on a cloudy day in the soft light.

Thank you,

Plan a trip or more during your winter break.

Looking at your Exif, I realize you didn't only have to anticipate his emergence from the dunk, but also that this wasn't an easy shot to get in dim light, nice catch Morris.

Thank you Eric,

I've always loved the quality's of light in the shade, on cloudy days and during the magic hours. I'm loving being able to capture images in it now that I have a camera plus software that is up to the task.

Thank you John,

Yes it is a classic. I wondered about a tighter crop yet wanted to show the reflection and spray
