    Well I went out a few days ago hoping for some clean looks at some wintering ducks but with no luck it seems as I can
    always come across these beautiful birds as they are very cooperative this was taken at last light during the golden hour.;)

    Thanks For Looking

    James, this is one of my favorite birds and what a presentation it is. Beautiful magic light, lovely colors, composition and exposure control, sharpness. I can't stop looking at this one. Well done.

    Wow... this is great James. The stilt would look great alone in that light, but against that water is really awesome. Great pose and low angle as well.
