I posted a Bufflehead drake a few days ago, this hen is his better half. I like her raised foot pose.

I also like the pose. The water drop on her tail feathers is an intriquing spot of color in the larger version. nicely done

Great to get them both! I'm very envious!
Fine detail, great pose and eye, and very nice water.

Wonderful shot of this female Craig. Love the detail and sharpness. Like I am looking at her live and in person. The raised foot is great.

Nice one Craig - like the detail and the slight head turn which has improved the eye contact

cheers
