A trio of longtailed ducks
I am skipping Finland next winter and instead will be visiting Northern Sweden in January 2009 for different species like Hawfinch and Nutcracker.

This one was taken early Spring this year from a boat in the habour of Batsfjord.

Coronation Street :biggrin:

Like the three different wing positions... maybe would work as a vertical crop too, looks like you handled light that wasn't too kind nicely...

Hi Rene

I wouldn't mind one, let alone three - nice one!

Very nice! I have only seen one through a telescope - even then a white dot on the horizon, so I'm envious. I agree a vertical crop would be good.

Nice image well exposed Rene - though I too might be tempted with the vertical comp too.

Best of luck with the gallery expo btw :toast: :toast:
