One of my favorite birds and they have a unique beauty all their own. You captured some really nice detail, tones and motion in this one Yves.
Thanks Heather. Very special bird to photograph indeed, and a good opportunity is a gift. I am so happy to get better at a sharp focus and lighting.
Nice action pose with good detail Yves. I like the added interest of the fallen tree and the possibility of the mate anxiously awaiting.
Thank you Debra. Yes, the white dead tree is good for the compo. There was a bunch of six females and two males. I took many shots at them but even with croping they where a bit too far for a good result. That one append to come closer for a moment. And you are right, a male was paddeling not far behind the tree
