Jerry,

yes the colors look very nice, as it is in a lot of images you reacently posted. The colors of the bird fit nicely also into the ones reflected. Technically great.

Very nice as posted. Nice colors overall and rather moody.

I've always enjoyed this species and wish I got to see it more often at closer quarters than I do here around Phoenix.

Very nice one Jerry. The bird looks great as does the general lighting, water color, and sky reflections. Well done.

Very nice, Jerry. I like the colors as well. I am a bit puzzled though. The water looks like it has a fair amount of noise in it and that just doesn't make sense with your shooting parameters. An idea where it might have come from?

Hi Jerry,
A very nice capture--no nits here. The color of the water with the small patches of blue complements the plumage of the drake redhead..............................Jim

Excellent detail and you nailed the techs. I like the low angle and the warm light.
