Another shot from a few weeks back these Blue-winged Teals are a species I see every winter but in very small numbers.

I love the salmon color on the side and the almost "Russian blue" color on the side of the head - maybe picking up a little reflection from the water. I can see its little paddler too! I've never been able to get close enough to Missouri teal for a good image - they are always nervous. Well done, James.
A not-too-flashy duck in a simple setting, but everything is perfect; light, angle, exposure, sharpness, etc.. Can't get enough of your wonderful waterfowl images!

Very beautiful James, your duck collection is really great TFS!

The detail is outstanding and the angle as mentioned very good. Another very impressive shot James.
Another fine image Jim! You're on a roll. Perfect exposure, great detail, and a nice low angle.
