Shoveler in Golden by helenhall

Shoveler in Golden

It was the golden light on this part of the water that I was drawn to, but as I was attempting to capture a wildlife shot (more practice on moving subjects) and the otters were not showing up today, I waited patiently for the duck to move into the area.


Nothing was close by today, so this became a heavily cropped shot. Having made the crop according to my best judgement, I decided to take on the golden ratio composition challenge - and I ended up with this.


For notes on the process - and how this differs from my original crop, those interested may visit the alternative album here …. https://365project.org/helenhall/365-extras/2018-12-28
The light is lovely here. Love the reflections too. Happy New Year to you and your family Helen. Looking forward to seeing your photos throughout 2019.
