    Photographed at Barnegat Light, high clouds helped with the exposure.

    I think I like the water, texture and colors, the most in this one.

    Very nice...

    Great swimming pose. Love the water and the waves.
    Excellent detail in the whites. Nicely done!

    Had a flock of about 1000 of these guys off of Plum Island last week.
    Way too far to photograph but nonetheless an impressive sight.

    Lovely shot, Axell.
    I would have liked to have seen the colour of the beak a bit more as they have beutiful blueish coloured one.

    Over a 1000? That must have been a great sight. There were maybe 100 at Barnegat.

    Thanks, Karl! The bill of the female was a bit greenish as in this image. I haven't seen a female with a blueish bill around here but then, I have never seen one in full breeding plumage.
