Taken at the water district ponds. Won Almaden art contest, March 16, 2006. Spooked this snowy as I approached, but got off a few shots as it sped across the lake. Wish the water were a more pleasing color, but what can you do? There is great detail in the bird, but I wanted to show the reflection. Don't tell me it is overexposed, it is not, but it would have been if I had not shot in RAW, which gave me an extra .7 ev to save areas that were blown in the jpg. Thanks for looking. (Sorry it is so big, try F11 to go to FULLSCREEN mode.)
