American Widgeon Hen

Giving the lady her due, here is the mate to the male that I posted earlier this week. So glad I stole a couple hours early one morning as we had a wind storm and the pretty leaves that made this water color are now blown away.

Grace:

Lovely water with nice mix of colors, like the blue/green wake and bow wave.

Sharp, well exposed, good eye detail showing, drip.

Sweet

Cheers

Super light and the colors are great!

[Marina Scarr]

Awesome colors here Grace. Nice reflection, catchlight, angle and water drop. Love movement in water too.

[Hayath Mohammed]

Excellent colors on the water. The details on the bird and that little droplet at the edge - lovely!

Cheers,

Beautiful image Grace! I like the water texture, colours and compostion.

[Stu Bowie]

Lovely looking lady Grace, and I like your low perspective. The water colours really rock, and the droplet on the bill is a nice touch.

Just a well round beauty of a shot here. Great detail and love the reflection. That water drip and twinkle in her eye really add to it. Great timing getting the last few images with autumn color. This one speaks to it. Nice one Grace.

Wonderful shot. Great water colors, great light, and terrific reflection.
Well done.
