A stunning shot of a beautiful looking species, made all the more so by the wonderful colour and patterns reflected in the water.

Wow that is a bit special Rene tried to photograph these in Svalbard and they are not an easy species to do, love the colours on this one.

Hi Rene,
Nice colourful picture. Good sharpness of the complete bird.
Beautyful animal by the way. Never seen such a duck.

Very good ! The patterns are so beautiful they tend to take the attention off the bird a little to me.
Wonderful shot though.

Perfect flight shot of this beautiful bird Rene,
the background makes me doubtful. It is a very different but attractiv contrast to the bird.
otherwise I find it turbulent.
Only a personal taste.
have fun

Phil.
The patterns and colour in the water really compliment the duck and actually emphasize it well.
