The Duck who Swam On Blood Red Water

Gave a lot of thought to posting this shot! It is not black and white obviously, and that was the aim of the project. However, I waited on this Eider Duck to swim onto the red reflected patch of water and then converted it to mono. Why? The whole point of the shot was the red water and it looked ordinary in mono. Sometimes you need colour. I will try to post most of this project in mono but will not do so if colour makes the shot.

Filip Švácha Dont restrict yourself just to black and white, because you said so, that stupid, this shot is briliant, it caught my attention imidiately, and as you have written, it would be quite boring in monochrome, the red makes the magic happen, its a fantastic shot, keep them coming!
