Hooded Merganser

[Doug Brown]

The weather couldn't have been nicer yesterday when I went out in search of ducks. Since there are still plenty of leaves on the trees, the reflections in the water were spectacular. Here's a Hooded Merganser.

Doug,
Psychedelic. The wave patterns and colours impart a nice texture to this image.

The white looks little hot. If this were a different forum, then you would have got a comment that you make the camera look much better than it is. :-)

I like this image. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Five eyes in the refelection!! I'd be tempted to put a bit more room below for the reflection, but otherwise what a great image! Looks like it came in pretty close proximity. Love the colours, and the blues are a huge plus.

Like this one a lot, great colors. I am not sure why, but I do like the multiple eye reflections. The "greens" in the water are awesome.

Never notice the five eyes in the reflection! It did come in close Daniel.

[Milo Burcham]

Awesome looking water. I like the reflection of all the eyes! Great dealing with eh exposure as well
