Stunning Display
Chicago, 2024
Limited edition fine art print of 6 – As I was sitting at my desk writing an article about photography, I began craving to get behind the lens and actually practice photography. The light was looking like it was going to be promising, so I headed down to my local pond to see what kind of wildlife was around. I found a few species of ducks. After a few moments of letting them get used to me, I positioned myself with the ducks between me and the sun. I wanted to capture them with a soft rim light on them. Then, one of the males began displaying, and the light was glowing through his wing feathers. I waited for him to do it again and captured the perfect frame. I hope you enjoy it.  Photo © copyright by Derek Nielsen.
