Love the direct, two-eyed stare. I am pretty sure that this is a male Tufted Duck.

with love, artie

Thanks Artie ... you are right with the name , just mixed the English names .... in my mother language I knew the correct name .

[Randy Stout]

Andreas:

Agree with Artie, the down the barrel stare is great, and especially effective because of those yellow eyes. Water drops a plus. Excellent shooting angle.

Cheers

Love the water drops and the head on look.

[Daniel Cadieux]

This duck looks surprised, did it pop up just in front of you? I love the water drops (especially the large one on the head) and the down-the-barrel stare.

It may be an oldie Andreas but it is a golden oldie - lovely eyes, and as I might expect you have excellent detail in the dark and light plumage.
