This small pond was completely covered in Duck Weed.
Felt this set the bird of well epspecially as the light was poor and water would not have made to good a back drop.
Love the stretch and particularly the colourful setting

the bird is very well exposed and I agree the natural setting is very pleasant. I think I'd perhaps prefer a bit more space in front of the bird.

Impressive colors and deepness here Major,
the last generation of cameras is a hammer, I think we live in a photographic paradise

Lovely shot and well captured. Love the detail in the spread wing, and the pose is great.
