Beautiful shot of this handsome bird. I agree with both Jane and you that the black colored birds and wildlife are the most difficult to photograph.. but you did a great job on this one.

Yves Langlois

Thank you very much Heather. I greatly appreciate your comment.

Debra Plett

Terrific shot Yves. You have captured the scaup and the waves in the water nicely.

Yves Langlois

Thank you Debra

Jane LeBlanc

Nice angle Yves...it catches the eye well. It's so hard to photograph birds with black heads in order to see the eye.

Yves Langlois

Thanks Jane. I'D say any black animal is hard to photograph.
