Neat photo Claude. The colours are super and the moment of capture is great. Nice spiky crest too. Background shows the subject up well.

Good shot,
Claude. All the compositional elements are in place, as well as the excellent detail.

Great action, Claude. The Merganser sure looks proud of herself. Great eye contact.

Nice detail throughout Claude. Of course the fish adds a ton of interest to the shot. Nice capture!
