Here is another Wood Duck from the coldest morning of my recent Better than Bosque Workshop. The fog over the water was so thick that it made capturing great images difficult when we first set up, but it quickly transformed into epic photography as the sun rose and began to burn it off. The still water was perfect for low-angle views, with magical autumn colours framing the ornamental Wood Duck.
