These ducks never come into shore--so the only real way to get near them is by boat. I made this image on one of the Washington State Ferries in a full force gale as we were leaving the dock. The male is so colorful and the female so drab in comparison.

Hey Bonnie, You did a very nice job with this one. EXP is great with nice detail in all the dark areas. The head angle is perfect as is the COMP. Way to go.
