Bonjour Christian,
So happy to see you again!
What a beautiful shot. Both the focus and the exposure are excellent, revealing very fine details on this merganser. I can see every feather, and the range of colors is fantastic. Great POV also.
Merci pour le partage, et bon printemps. : )

Hi Christian.
What an beauty you have pictured and done this perfectly. Transperency of your shot, clearness of the colours, sharpness and details of the bird and water surface are simply fantastic. We can see the smallest details of the bird, its funny "hair" on the head and even water drops on its plumage. Micro waves in front of the bird and surround of it are amazing too. Composition, lighting and delicate colour palette are really outstanding. Bravo and best regards. TFS,
Alexei.

Hi Christian

Very nice too see you back and posting, my friend!
Even if you don't have much time now, whenever you drop by it's a pleasure for us too see you work and read your interesting comments. Thank you!

This is another splendid photo of this interesting and lovely bird. The common merganser is not something we see very often here on TN, so thatnks for sharing.
The POV and details on this one are excellent and the colors are lovely. Very good contrast with the water, too and very nice too see a part of the speeding feet underwater, too...something very rare in these types of photos.

All the best to you!

Oh, I remember this PUNK bird! She's a real cute looking fellow Taz. Lovely capture and so good to see you posting again.

"Annecy of NZ" has another crew member - baby girl was born this week and we're busy looking after the older child. She's a little darling and I bet they'll try and take her out on Annecy within a week.
Best regards to you my friend

Hi Christian,
A very nice shot on this Common Merganser. Soft light and a spot on exposure. This has rendered some excellent colors and sharp detail in the plumage. Looks Good!

Hello Christian

Excellent capture of this little lady. Very good sharpness/focus with nice details in the plumage. She is looking so nice in her silvery dress and brown hood - very natural looking colours. Nice composition and a very nice note to follow.

Well done my friend

Bonjour Christian,
J'aime beaucoup ces oiseaux que nous avons aussi ici, je les trouve tellement élégants mais ils ont farouches quand même. C'est une superbe prise avec d'excellents détails, une belle composition et exposition. La couleur et la transparence de l'eau sont impressionnantes. Bravo!

Hello Christian, this is a lovely clear and sharp shot of the Merganser. I have not yet seen one in the UK, though I believe they do visit here. I love the plumage which is shown in great detail with rich colours. Great light throughout, the water shimmer is wonderful.
