Can you spot the skier?

Nothing speaks more to me about the vastness of nature and in turn, the wilderness, than those broad canvases I get to see and photograph.

Moreover, alone on this lake, the skier brings perspective to these wide spaces: the trees, the lake, the cups of slope, the leaning shadows.

But, it isn’t the skier that my eyes are led to first and that is what I like most about this photo. I hope you all like it as well.

New on 500px : Flapping Mallard by HermanWong by HermanWong

This is a male eclipse Mallard. I caught it flapping wings, and tried to get a complete sequence of of its action. Somehow the angle was not perfect, I could only use 3 shots in stacking. I duplicated 2 of the 3 shots and applied radial blurr and perpective warp to make this sequence complete. Heard that an 1D full frame model of a famous brand DSLR can fire 14 frames in one second. That maybe Photo birder’s dream machine.
It is interesting to learn that Mallard is the ancestor of all domestic duck breeds, except Muscovy Duck. They are monogamous, but males like to have extra-marital affair (just like humans).
