Misty Duck

It has taken me a very long time to decide on a photo to enter into this competition. I feel that I have learnt so much in this first year of owning my Lumix G1, and coming from small point and shot cameras I am amazed at how much there is to learn and how much you can do! I finally decided on one of my Misty Duck photos as they were one of the first photos I took that I was really proud of. They came out much better than I was expecting! I walk past this lake every morning on my way to work and this particular day I left earlier and the atmosphere was amazing! I found it fascinating how a place you take for granted and see everyday can change so dramatically with different light. I was worried that the low morning light would not come out, but it seemed to of worked! I decided on the single duck photo, as I was pleased with his silhouette against the misty water, and the morning light reflecting off of his back. Although I liked the reflections of the two ducks in the other photo, I think the single duck has a nice atmosphere. I hope I made the right decision!
