Lesser Scaup.

Giving me the eye as it swims by. Here's an example of why head colour is not a reliable fieldmark to differentiate the Lesser and the Greater Scaups...this is the very same individual I posted a few days ago that was green rather than purple...

Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/800s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, small crop for comp. Audio used.

I like the eye contact, bow wave, trailing water line and composition. Well done Daniel.

That face!! Great shot Daniel.

nice shot,like the bow wave,the look on the birds face,nice detail.TFS.

Love the details here ...... Thanks Sharing

Excellent shot, Daniel. I would make a nice portrait image as well.
