Beautiful, Sandy.  I love the combination of still and ruffled water.  The detail and light are superb.  Well done.

I will add that the water is quite pleasing with an interesting reflection.  Light is quite nice  I saw the species in Iceland.

Sandy, yes the reflection is very nice and very interesting.  We do have some long tail ducks here in New England on the east coast during migration. I wonder if they are the same species?
