    I believe this is a female (or juvenile) AMWI.
    Shot a few days back when the weather was still nice and the water had nice fall reflection.
    Thanks for looking.

    Karl,

    If I didn't know any better, I would have thought you were in the same pond I was this weekend (I'll be posting my American Wigeon shortly).

    The color of that water is great. I'm wondering, however, if you cloned a bit of it in around the head area. It looks like the top of the head has been affected by this. Otherwise, a lovely shot.

    Miguel

    Very nice Karl - that water is simply awesome. Agree with Miguel about the smudge on the head...

    Thanks Miguel.
    First of all I noticed that I did not post the one I intended to post.
    I did some cloning to get rid off some dark spots, you will se it on the second image but I did it in layers and it would not have affected the duck.
    I looked at the original and it had this smudgy patch on the top of the head due to some lighting effect.
    I fixed it none the less to make it look nicer.
    I hope you like it.

    Love the colors, the spacious comp and the perfect head turn she's giving you, Karl.
    Wigeons are such beautiful ducks.
