    Here's a cute bufflehead doing a wing flap. Not my best image (Too big of a crop), but I did figure out a strategy for getting closer to these very skittish ducks in the future. Stay tuned. :) I see insulated waders in my future.

    Excellent image Grace.
    Superb exposure in whites, wonderful iridescent colours on head, nice wing flaps and nice composition.

    Nice wing out pose Grace, all looks very well exposed and some real nice sheens on the head, that's one pretty little Duck.

    What a handsome duck, Grace. Love that you captured just enough angle on the head to make it work and the colors glow. I like the water droplets too!

    Excellent wing flapping pose and spot on exposure on the whites, Grace. Nice low angle shooting.
