What a beauty, Jim!
The warm background in that special light really highlights the duck and the blurred wings give ti a nice touch! Big time good!
That the bg is good is an understatement !!!! Pure butter !!!! Love the pose and look A more over the shoulder sun angle would have lit up the rear end of the duck Might lighten just a tad Love this image and gets a well deserved Big Congrats !!!
Great light and complementing BG. On my monitor it looks as if there is a clone mark left of the bill.
Very nice image, the BG makes the shot for me.

HI James,
Love the wings and amazing BG. Excellent timing. You have a winner here!
Sweet BG and pose, and very nice species BTW
Surf Scoters are mainly seen in deep blue water with dark, rough bg. I like the warm tones here. Nice flight image.
