    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.

    Surf Scoters are mainly seen in deep blue water with dark, rough bg. I like the warm tones here. Nice flight image.
