Wood Duck @ Burnaby Lake

Thanks for checking it out.

Cool bird. Picture taken just on time. I would have colored the water slightly (blue) for a more intense view. But that's just a matter of opinion :)

Thanks Janna for the feedback.

The perfect image, Dale. Really good colors and detail. A few of these around Toronto, but I haven't seen any close enough to shoot.

Very beautiful work!

Very nice, Dale! Best regards, Ruud.

great photos Dale ;)

Many thanks, Roger, Antanas, Ruud, and Bogdan.

 

@ Roger, they seem to come closer if the mallards are around, people feed the mallards and they are generally not that afraid of people so the wood ducks will come closer in those situations.

 

 

Fantastic capture,excellent colors and composition, Dale.

 

Best regards.

Thanks very much Alberto.

That's a nice capture Dale, but I agree about the water colour which I can imagine you could not avoid. Taha

Thanks Taha ... different angles might have given different water colours but unfortunately I had to grab this shot before it stopped flapping it's wings.

Great capture Dale! Great pose and framing, excellent sharpness.

Thanks John.

Beautiful moment, and photo of course!

(good color and sharp too)

Hey Ellen, thanks.

Perfect timing- I love the way photography reveals the beauty of the often-overlooked. Nice shot.
