Merganser splash

[Grace Scalzo]

Both the mergansers and me were battling a stiff breeze at Sunken Meadow on Long Island's north shore this morning.

Thanks for looking and for your comments.

I like the idea but for my taste there is a bit too much splash, covering much of the bird. The whites look borderline hot on my monitor.
