You know, I have never taken a decent image of a female Harlequin Duck--Wonder why?:)
They never cooperate! :D

Just great Bonnie This brought a big smile to my face !!!! Don't recall seeing a lady in a pose like that ...... and what an expression !!!!!
Wow, this is fantastic. Wish for a little better eye contact with the hen. The framing, EXP, and sharpness are exceptional.
later and love, artie

Great action, exposure and sharpness. It may not have the ideal head position but I'd be glad to add it to my portfolio if I had taken it.

Looks like something scared her clean out of the water. Really cool action!
WOW, did she trip? Love the capture...:D
Thanks guys! I appreciate the feedback. Sure wished she had tuned her head just a wee bit. I have others of her in the air I will post--not quite as dramatic as this one.
What are you talking about??? This is awesome!
hi bonnie, that is way cool!! love the action and the cant wait to see more.
wow.. super cool.. isnt that the male right there below her? must have been a "goose"... she sure looks suprised
Super action shot!
this is a sweet one Bonnie...excellent capture.
I love these type of posing for the photographer, crazy. Great image., If anything could be better, it would have been if the head had turned a little bit different. But sometimes it's not our decision, the **** birds sometimes don't do as we want
