The local wildlife refuge is hosting another large Cinnamon Teal population this year. I captured this drake taking a siesta a few days ago.

Very nice preening pose, love that half-closed eye - great colors & detail/DOF too Craig.
I especially like that reflection and "spotlit" look taking it over the top

Well done

Great shot of the Teal taking a nap. The reflection, and light really make this a nice image.

Good sharpness for 600mm and 1/60 sec. Nice detail in the blacks and I like the reflection and dark BG.
