The shutter speed here was 1/50th of a second, the F-stop is 5.6 and the ISO was 1600. I was walking around my local pond and I happened to find this duck on an open patch of water when most was frozen ice. Two things I love about the water is the ripples and the reflections in it. It was snowing at the time, and as a result the water has this slightly rippled texture to it. However it is not too rippled for reflections to be captured. It is awesome to see how clear and detailed the second duck , in addition to the stalks of dead plants.
