About the Image(s)
No pin-up photo this month. This was taken in 2020 when we had snow. This year
is still a drought. We did have a couple of snows, but not much and it's already
in the 60s. This yappy female wood duck just made me smile.
Equipment used: Canon EOS 77D, f/11, 1/400, IOS 400. 300mm.

Leslie, this image communicates a message of COLD and is very close to being a high key image. The yappy female definitely tells a story and gets the message across witch I surmise is that someone has food. This is a whimsical maybe comical image.   Posted: 03/01/2025 17:25:28
definitely hi-key, but no food was involved. Humorous comment from Ms.Yappy was the point. Like I said, not a prize winner. Same reply to Michael.   Posted: 03/02/2025 11:56:27
The image is too bright and is not sharp. if that was your intention then it is OK.   Posted: 03/01/2025 19:43:54
Maybe not a pin-up Leslie, but as Tom said, does tell a story. To me, looks like the male is chasing the female all the while trying to convince her his side of the story, while at the same time she is swimming away from him, is having her say in the matter. I would have suggested cropping the shore line out, but I think it's really part of the story.   Posted: 03/05/2025 12:59:12
Some natural humour with good timing. I would suggest cropping down to remove the foliage and create concentration on the two ducks.   Posted: 03/10/2025 06:06:57
I agree, should have cropped out the shore. Suppose I left it in to show how snowy it was.   Posted: 03/24/2025 23:45:33
