Hi,
Here's my version of a male Harlequin, seen just off the Fundy Coast on a Xmas Bird Count. It was very stormy, with mountainous waves, but the duck (drake) seemed quite happy.
D7000, 300 f/4 AF-S + 1.7TC. Rested the lens on a wooden piling on the wharf, attempting to hold it still in an 80KpH + wind. 1/200, f/6.7, ISO 180. Quite a big crop, mild NR, shadows/ highlights applied in PSE9.
