Barrow's Goldeneye - Pair

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Captured this pair resting quietly on a small lake in northern Iceland in 2016. More often then not, their eyes were closed. C&C welcome.

Works well for the theme. Like the composition. Neat colors on the ducks.

Hi Geoffrey, wonderful to get the pair and i do see the violet color on the male. Wish it wasn't so small in the frame, but hey, its not even winter yet! TFS

Hi Ann,

Thanks. This was a decent crop, so I thought it might be good for the theme.

Nice for the theme. I saw hundreds of these in a lake in Iceland but could not get anywhere near them.
