    Love the direct, two-eyed stare. I am pretty sure that this is a male Tufted Duck.

    with love, artie

    Andreas:

    Agree with Artie, the down the barrel stare is great, and especially effective because of those yellow eyes. Water drops a plus. Excellent shooting angle.

    Cheers

    This duck looks surprised, did it pop up just in front of you? I love the water drops (especially the large one on the head) and the down-the-barrel stare.

    It may be an oldie Andreas but it is a golden oldie - lovely eyes, and as I might expect you have excellent detail in the dark and light plumage.
