With the fall colors in near full force backgrounds can be beautiful, I was fortunate on this morning to catch a few Wood Ducks with these colorful reflective backgrounds.

Though not quite as dramatic as the drake, the hen can hold her own, Louie!

Hey Louie. Who doesn't love wood ducks in the fall ? Love the color in the water and great reflections plus good looking subjects. Well done !!

This is one of the reasons to shoot slightly above ground level (moving from the conventional on the ground/eye level) for shots like these. Lovely!

Beautiful set, lovely colors in #'s 1,2, and 4. Plus the pair on the stump is very sweet.
