Same guy that was on my post this morning. This is kind of a poorly executed photo on many levels, but, it intrigues me. (Click for a bigger look.) I find it ethereal with the snow and the splashes of purple. I love that the feet of first duck and the back of the third duck are in focus-something for the left and right eye. What do I know? You decide….
Happy Thanksgiving to my America friends!
Why do I like this shot? It is not a very strong composition. The light isn’t particularly interesting. Worse, it is shot through a wired fence…and yet that is what makes it special. The white-tailed deer was not within a fenced enclosure-I WAS. I had just entered through the gates of a nature park when I looked back and saw two deer chasing each other at top speed and playing with total abandon in the apple orchard–on the other side of the fence. So, while I was only free to walk the paths inside the park, they were out in the wild running and leaping. It somehow felt right to me.
