Another one from my outing with Jasper this winter. I liked the calm but alert look of this beautiful duck and therefore wanted to share it with you.

Thanks for watching,

Hi Alexander,
Thanks for the comment but could you explain what you mean with too blue for your taste?

Hi Alexander,

I meen the bleu reflection on the biord itself. Bud I guess that this is the reflection of a bleu thing alongs the shoreline of the water?

Hi Alex,
That would be the reflection of the sky in the water hitting the shadow on the bird, but it was pretty blue at the time so I think this colour isn't too far off. Thanks for the comment anyway!

Cheers

Nice pose. I don't mind the blue at all mate. :)

Wonderful eye contact, pose and detail in the white, and I like the blue too.
