Brian: Lovely bird, pose, soft BG. Perhaps a bit too contrasty for my personal taste.
Seems like a great spot!

Ohlallala ... Brian , fireworks on steroids
This is tough , but I do like the RP better !!!!
Superb Patterns and color /tones ... are they such colorful in real life when the light is right ???!!!
Regardless of any color , love the shot and the perfect wing pose .
Brilliant work ...

Always appreciate your feedback Andreas!
So interestingly, this subspecies is closely related to the Blue-winged Teal I recently posted. They actually share the same wing patterns :-) And of course, I beef up the colors a little but they are pretty true to real life here, including the "cinnamon" effect in the body and head plumage.
Super shot Brian - ideal pose, maybe I am just jealous over the colours but they do look intense!! I can't really comment because I haven't seen one of these before.
