Gorgeous, Clifford. I love the movement of the water...it just completes the shot.

Awesome portrait of this handsome fellow, Clifford. They're quite common in our area and imo they don't get the recognition they deserve for how colorful and attractive they really are. He shows beautifully here in every detail. Great shot!

A super photo of a very beautyful duck (quite rare around here). You got those colours very shining. Well done Clifford.

A lovely, sharp photo. The reflection in the water has amazingly retained more tone/detail than the image itself! This is a species that I've not seen before.

thanks Dennis, these are awesome birds to photo and the shows they put on to attract a mate can be quite eventful, I will see what I have in my archives

Description
