A few more days of the muted tones of the female duck species and I'll move onto the more colorful males. I really like these whistlers! (hope thats not a name for a bird that resides in Florida) ;) Anyways, without further adieu.... the hen Common Goldeneye.
P.S. I think I need about two degrees of CCW rotation.

Mike, I've totally enjoyed your female duck series. They are so often overlooked, you have made them shine with your attention to fine detail. In each image, your backgrounds are the perfect compliment to your subject.
beautiful bird, mike! not sure if you were kidding about the rotation, but i came up with .77 degrees of CW going from eye to eye. only problem.....which eye do you choose!!!! my eye couldnt tell anyways. i like it as is. cant wait to see the males.
Super angle, light, detail and colours captured in this Mike. Lovely angle of the head, and I like the DOF in this. Yep, great series so far. Congrats.
