[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was shooting a small waterfall (out of frame to the left) and just happened to notice the wood duck a bit downstream. I didn't have a longer lens to isolate and concentrate on the duck so I tried to capture a sense of the quiet location and the beauty of the wood duck within the environment.

Handheld @ 200mm on an overcast day (1/13 sec) so sharpness suffered a bit, even with the VR lens

RAW:
Temp 4550; Exp -0.10;
Shadow 5; Bright 70; Contrast +25;
Luminance Smoothing 3; Color Noise Reduction 3;
Vignette -83 @ 66 midpoint

Ahhh beautiful Bill! I love woodducks! They are so handsome! I also like Harlequin Ducks, similar, but more rare here in Texas! Nice shot!
