Wood Duck in the Fall (Three Photographs)

Fall colours reflected in the water almost always make a great background. In this case I had to darken the water and then lighten the bird, same mask used twice, I just inverted it. Came out rather painterly but nice. The B&W was simple, though the spots in the water stood out more so I removed more of the flotsam in processing than I had originally planned. Overall this wood duck stands out and rightfully so.
