Tufted duck

[Ben_Sadd]

After photographing terns I noticed this tufted duck on a dyke while on the way back to my hotel. I liked how the light was falling on it in combination with the greens in the water.

C&C welcome.

Great vision and good eye Ben. That yellow eye really pops on this one. Nicely captured with the water beading off the back as well.

Beautifully sharp and the colours are excellent, as Josh said the water droplets are a bonus.
