A Parley of Redheads

[Bill Dix]

A small patch of open water on a frozen, snow-covered reservoir attracted lots of waterfowl yesterday, including some Redheads which I have never before had a chance to photograph. Unfortunately, I couldn't get very close for fear of taking an icy swim, so this is a large crop. C&C appreciated.

Nice pair of Redheads! Had one in our local lake for the last few weeks.

Nice low angle shot....BG is a little bright for me.

Great low angle. I think the head angle of the bird on the left of the image is slightly turned away from the imaging sensor.
I like that you decided to show two birds in the image.

[James Salywoda]

Excellent low angle Bill and the composition works for me but the ducks look a bit washed out

[Vivaldo Damilano]

I agree with James but also love the composition plus low angle. Both the duck are nice and sharp TFS

Bill, excellent low angle and high key BG. loved the waves a lot. TFS.
