This drake Mallard had been airborne for about 5 seconds when I got this shot. One of about 3 I had gotten when the duck was in flight. The Red Oaks across the lake provided the nice border at the top of the image.

I love the halo above the duck's head! Excellent reflection and the red really does add a nice frame. Great score with this one!

Beautiful image. I love the duck and its reflection, also the red reflection above which works as a frame.

Great idea, and great timing as well. IF the duck was slightly sharper, that would have been a big boost, in my opinion.

A well seen image with good focus and detail with natural colours, but the red reflection in the top of the image does tend to distract from the main focal point.

How long'd you have to stand around to capture this one? Nice shot.
