Just a teal. Not enough DOF for everything so had to choose - focused on the eye and let the rest fall were it may.
Wanted the BG OOF though.

you certainly made the eye stand out! very attention grabbing image. I have never seen one of these birds, is this coloring accurate? or did you desaturate? i really like how you made the blue and the eye stand out. I like the stance and the backward look at the viewer, to me, it shows a lot of energy in the photo.
Lance, what a wonderful composition. I love the tension of the bird standing on one leg and the elegant s-curve made by the body. Now, about that DOF... :eek::)

one sweet image, lance! 'nuff said.
Mr. Peters...this is one sweet image...I like the back head turn and the crystal sharp eye...I like the depth of field inter play...well done...:cool:
Good looking duck Lance !!! Good point on the dof selection !!
Lance, Nice pose and HA, clean BG and sharp eye! The one foot is great!
Thanks guys - coulouring is accurate - the Eye is electris red - the spend a lot of time in amongst the reeds and really blend in - The red eye gives them away every time.
Cheryl - notthing was done to the colours at all - the blue is what it is.
I really don't give these guys enough time - guess its because they are so common that I tend to overlook them.
Lovely Lance. Dark BG. light bird, and the eye draws you right in. Stellar work:)
Great Grey Teal mate, nice head angle and eye contact. Love it. :)
