Love the side lighting, creamy bokeh and of course the low angle on this shot. The OOF water plant at the right balances and thus enhances the composition.

Woohoo! Love the light and composition. Never saw anything as "dramatic" on something as simple as a "ducklike" thing. All that blood you lost to the leeches have now been repaid. So that's what Manny was doing standing by the pond. And I thought he was just laughing (like me) at that floater that looked like a ridiculous pile of trash coasting into the ducks!  |
