Whoa !! The head looks amazing. Perfect timing.

Over the top calling pose and colors, Alan!!!

[John Cooper]

Superb IQ Alan with loads of colour impact. I love the gold tones in the water complimenting the gold tones in the wing. The open bill adds futher impact.

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Superb image Alan. Is this with the 300+2X or with the 600 mm ?

This is a HUGe impact image ! The colours , the sharpness , the BG !! and there is something royal in the way the bird is holding that pose !!

I remember this one, unless you captured another drake with a very similar animated expression...awesome classic!
The colors and lighting of the duck are sweeeet.

There is not much better than a well exposed, sharp image of a male wood duck! The head is just awesome. TFS!!!

Great pose and well exposed. Killer looking drake. Beautiful golden colors in the scene. Very nice.

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Wonderful image with great colors and detail. The "laughing" pose is quite dynamic and reminds me of the Joker from The Dark Knight. :)

[PhilCook]

Lovely bit of eye candy, the colors are to die for including the water, open beaks adds a lot too

[Doug Zoern]

WOW!

Woodies are always dramatic but this really takes it to a new level. The Colors, the calling, the extension.

Alan,

WOW!
