I have been trying to capture photos of these colorful guys in colorful reflections – I love bright colors, but this might be color overload!
This was shot right at the last light of day yesterday. You might think the water is orange from a sunset sky. Actually, the warm sunlight was illuminating the bark on the palm trees lining the shoreline of a nearby island. I got down low, close to the water, to increase the area of the reflected glow on the water created from these warmly illuminated palm trees. I then waited for a wood duck to swim through the colorful water. I needed to use flash to light the duck as he was actually in the shade.

glad you got your shot Ron. when i was doing one of my cross-country trips, i took what I considered to be my best shot of the trip near the end and after that I felt strangely relaxed, like I didn’t care anymore if I got anymore good pictures or not.
Thanks Richard! I know what you mean, sometimes it words better when you don’t try so hard.
