Long-tailed Duck in Foamy water

[Grace Scalzo]

I haven't been photographing much lately...life gets in the way sometimes. I went out yesterday afternoon for just a bit despite an approaching Noreaster which made it terribly windy. I do love this spot for LT ducks at last light...you can get such a nice spotlight effect on the duck as the foreground moves into shade.

Thank you for looking.

A very pretty duck Grace, with a nice sparkle in it's eye and wonderful water swirls---I love the whistle sound of these guys.

Hi Grace, I like the good look at the lit head and the beautiful long tail. The dark FG makes him really stand out well. Wish I had these guys around here. Maybe get to see one if I come out this winter. TFS
Talk to ya soon.
