Taken at the same place as my GBH shots.
300mmf4 at 1/125th of a sec at f6.3 ISO 250.
I really messed up by cutting off the reflection and I struggled getting low enough for the shot, I was almost in the water but it still looks like I was standing above the bird.

Still a colorful pretty shot. I like the textures and lines. :)

Cliff,
This is an excellent shot of the Widgeon. Yea, the reflection is cut off but it's not a deal breaker. And I have to give my compliments on the processing.
