    Great light and sharpness. Water texture is lovely. Maybe a little more room? Well done with the low angle.

    Looks like you were in the water to capture this at such a low angle. Lovely light, and I like the droplets all over the body. Well captured George.

    Good light and angle. I like the water droplets as well. Species correction: This appears to be hen scaup (lesser or greater, I don't know).

    Bryan, you are spot on - my wife told me 2 minutes after I posted that this was a female lesser scaup. We have a few that hang around in the local area and the ring necked male was definitely impressed by her.. thanks for the catch

    Excellent lighting. I also love the eye contact. Great pose, great sharpness and the low angle just puts this one over the top for me. Well done.
