    This image of a Harlequin Duck drake was captured along the inlet jetty at Barnegat light, NJ. Similar to the previous open bill post, the design of this profile image is intended to emphasize the markings on the drake.

    Sweet capture Rob-nice colors and texture. Perhaps darken the tip of the bill ever so slightly to help separate it from the bg? I tried to get down there this week but it just didn't happen, hoepfully they'll hang around a little longer.

    Only a better head angle could have improved on this fine image. You did well with these guys!

    Really nice Rob. Great IQ and a nice pose. I do prefer the added interest of the open beak in you previous post.
