    Re: Blue-winged teal

    Thanks Eric. I spent several hours sitting around this pond over the weekend. I either had great light and no subject, or subjects with no light. This one I was lucky enough to have both.

    Re: Blue-winged teal

    I can relate to the great light/subject coming together thing. :P
    Sometimes, as in your photo here... it DOES just come together perfectly.
    Walk softly and carry a big lens.
