Ducks and Pond at Sunset

Ducks and Pond at Sunset
Originally uploaded by randubnick

This is a photograph that I took at the Cummings Center Pond here in Beverly MA during an early evening walk. It was around 5:30, but the sun was already setting. I see this pond quite often because for walks, but only occasionally at or after sundown. I liked this little scene, so I took some pictures, and cropped this image out of the best one. (I also corrected the color in iPhoto.) What I was after was the way the colors of the sunset are reflected in the water, the way the lighting emphasized the patterns of the ripples, and the silhouettes of the ducks on the water.
