The assignment: B&W emphasizing shape. And the hooded merganser has one of the most distinctive heads of any bird I've seen. So shape it is!
Thank you for all your comments and favs on the hallway shot -- the hotel was quite 'hip' which I think is now defined as soft lights & minimalism everywhere. We have arrived back in Chicago, now face the process of unpacking and catching up from being gone for over 6 weeks. It was a beautiful day at least!
