Northern Pintails

From a recent trip to Bosque. I was attracted by the nice blue sky reflection with the ducks in their environment. C & C welcome.

I like the colours and habitat, Stephen. A wider aperture may have been an option to blur out the BG a bit more. A lower angle may have lost some of the blues but may have been an option to consider. I might try a tighter pano type crop. You can edit your original post to add the image to it

Very pleasing image with the inclusion of the habitat. Looks like a painting and well composed. Thanks for sharing Stephen.
