Federm im Wasser

Description

[translation: Feathers in Water]

Went to a Lake Lewisville, TX near my house and made it there just before it began raining. I happened to cross this dead duck in the water and thought it fit the depressing mood of the day. Did a longer exposure to smooth the water around it a bit which also blurred the wings as they moved with the 6 inch waves rolling in. The wings still flap though the duck's passed.

17mm, F/20, 2 sec, ISO-100
CP+ GND6(soft)+ GND4(medium) filters
