This is Trixie, who has never let me spend time shooting her. This time she looked directly at me, and allowed many shots. I liked the way her eyes looked in this one.
While on a photo shoot I saw this fun hat, which my subject had ordered made by an old friend, Buffy. She dyes her own raffia and then makes these very fanciful hats. We had to include it in the shoot that day.
I was very surprised to see the colors and iridescence in these feathers of a Muscovy Duck. This duck is particularly unattractive, so its feathers were a great surprise. I did slightly saturate the colors in this image.
