    Default Surf Scoter

    This is one I made at Barnegat Light in March. This Scoter was surprisingly trusting and didn't me being there at all.

    Amazing range of hues on the bill, Axel. Lovely and sharp and the water droplets add interest. I like the trailing pink leg underwater.

    Love the drop of water in the middle of the head. Nice EXP and way to go on getting that pink foot in the frame. The bird looks cock-eyed but the eyes are dead level. I only wish for a bit more room below.

    Nice species to get! I agree with Artie that more room below would be good and maybe some on the right. But thats just my taste and compostion is an individual thing.
