Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Excellent capture of this handsome male Aix sponsa, aka Wood duck or Carolina duck, and its reflection, Charles. The color of the water is very complementary.

I would love to get a shot of one of these Charles. There are so elusive. I have some shots of Wood Duck eggs that were found after a tree was destroyed by a storm. Beautiful shot.
The bokeh on this is top drawer, charles, and the slight ripple at the bottom creates layer upon layer of mirroring that gorgeous head. I've seen these ducks in "the flesh," as it were, but have never had a chance yet to get a properly lit shot. Perfection.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Brilliant shot and such detail, Wow - Right into my favs and downloaded. Would you mind if I created a watercolour out of this and I'll send it to you by email once it's done.
