Doug, good exposure on those colours on the head, and a lovely HA too. You couldnt have asked for calmer water, thus creating a perfect reflection. The droplets adds to the image.
This is excellent. I love the colors and the reflection. These guys are seriously hard to properly expose, and I always love to see the iridescence of the head.
GEEZ! You guys are killing me with these absolutely fantastic waterfowl images!
Steller exposre and great job getting the irredescence! The angle gives a perfect reflection!
Wow!! Such a beautiful image. The calm blue water is a perfect compliment to the duck. They are spooky here on Long Island..any tips on how to get close?
Great shot, I love the colors in this and the reflection really completes the image. The detail is also nice and sharp and especially like the water droplets on the feathers.
This was shot at a fairly extreme focal length; 840mm on a 1.6 crop body. This wasn't from a blind or anything. You just have to find the right place, in this case Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Southern California.
