Another one from yesterday. This guy found a hole in the ice to forage...

techs: 280mm, 1/200s, f5.6, iso 640

Thanks for looking!

Nice one, Billy. I usually like a lower point of view but this one works well. :toast:

Captured the atmosphere very nicely here. I would crop more to emphasise the snow on the duck's back, whilst reducing the snow/slush on the water at the top.

This made me laugh. The expression on the bird's face and the snow on it's back just sums up the conditions. :toast:

It may be my eyes (i'm just getting over a nasty cold) but is there a slight lack of sharpness? I apologise if it's my eyes though.

Other nits mentioned for me.

A lower viewpoint would have improved the image for me.

Works for me, an excellent capture. Well seen and executed.
