Another shot from a few weeks back these Blue-winged Teals are a species I see every winter but in very small numbers.

I love the salmon color on the side and the almost "Russian blue" color on the side of the head - maybe picking up a little reflection from the water. I can see its little paddler too! I've never been able to get close enough to Missouri teal for a good image - they are always nervous. Well done, James.

A not-too-flashy duck in a simple setting, but everything is perfect; light, angle, exposure, sharpness, etc.. Can't get enough of your wonderful waterfowl images!

I've said the same thing about Jim's raptor images but his waterfowl shots ain't too shabby either.:)

Good detail James, and the low angle works well. I think you nailed the comp too.

Very beautiful James, your duck collection is really great TFS!

[Hendri Venter]

The detail is outstanding and the angle as mentioned very good. Another very impressive shot James.

Another fine image Jim! You're on a roll. Perfect exposure, great detail, and a nice low angle.

James, loved the low angle and head angle. Stating the obvious here :-)

Jim, Beautiful details and exposure. You really have a great eye for capturing the waterfowl in very nice complimentary water colors.:)
