I meant to share this photo of a Drake Redhead diving weeks ago. but when the loons arrived at my local pond, I completely forgot that I had processed it. I’m not forgetting it again today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"DrakeDrake Redhead in a dive \u2013 Nikon D500, tripod mounted, f7.1, 1\/1600, ISO 500, +0.7 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/p>\n

This redhead drake and its mate were swimming in front of me and my friend, Shane Smith, when it started to dive beneath the surface of the water.<\/p>\n

I liked everything about this Redhead<\/span><\/a> image. The series of images I took of this diving duck were all wonderful, but this particular photo stood out due to the reflection and the freeze-frame action.<\/p>\n

Just a duck being a duck.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
