Drying Off

I finally made it up to N Chagrin Reserve in NE OH in October while the fall colors were still good. I had heard of N Chagrin for years and thought about going to capture the woodies in beautiful reflections but never made it. Well, I finally changed that this year. It did not disappoint. All C&C welcome.

The bird is beautiful, the wing stretch is very nice and the reflections are colorful. Very nice.

Looks really good to me Kirk. Love the pose and wonderful water. Sharpness looks good. Sure wish I could see this larger to take in all the wonderful details.
