Hello Annick,
This close portrait of the male Scaup (Aythya marila) couldn't be better! It is in eclipse plumage.
Extraordinary sharpness and detail with superb contrasting bokeh.
Superb shot!
TFS and best regards, Ivan

Hi Annick,
A really close approach!
It's so good the all the info that we are able to see on this duck's plumage, thanks to the generous size of the image.
It's so luminous and plenty of clear details, beginning by the impressive yellow eye.
Well done and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hello Annick,
Nice duck head :)
A 50% crop and it still looks great..
Well done & TFS!

Hi Annick,
You shows us a very nice portrait here. The choosen aperture gives a perfect background. Pin-sharp shot with good details.
Regards, Ruud

Hi Annick
Beautiful perfectly sharp portrait with fantastic yellow eye. Great composition, perfect OOF buckground. Maybe contrast on a beak could be a little bit stonger
Best wishes

Hallo Annick,
Je hebt inmiddels een schitterende verzameling portretten. Deze misstaat daar niet in. Perfecte scherpte en belichting. Het gele oog komt prachtig bij de groen/gele achtergrond.
Groeten,
Peter

Hello Annick,
an outstanding capture.
+++ Ultimate sharpness and detail. Very good composition and a very affective close crop.
Great BG which is successfully blurred by the DOF.
--- Nothing :)
The yellow eye is very cool;)
Well done,
Joe

Hello Annick,
I'm not 100% positive about "her" ID but it might be a Common Golden eye female. You can have a look at this link : http://www.oiseaux.net/photos/jean-louis.corsin/garrot.a.oeil.d.or.2.html

I have seen this duck in Ecomuseum in Quebec and I have taken pictures of it too. This is a very nice portrait with excellent details. What is mixing me up here is "her" beak... If it is a Golden eye, she should have a pale line on her beak. I might be mistaken as identifying unknown species is not really what I'm best at :) Thanks!
Claudine
oups... :)
PS, forget what I have written, I have just noticed that Mr. Argus has identified it and I know that he's right :)))
