This is an incredible image! Great job capturing a still image of this bird in motion. I love the wing reflection in the water, and I like the stark coloration of the bird against the muted tone of the water and foliage in the background. Great focus, too! (As an aside, I wonder if birds ever see their own reflection in the water and get spooked as they do sometimes when they are reflected in windows.)

Regards,
Randy

interesanta specie. parca am mai vazut-o si la ceva useri din turcia.
sa inteleg ca ai mai vazut aceasta specie si alte dati ?

hello Iliuta

excellent panning effect shot, we can feel the speed
of this duck's (?) flight, excellent sharpness and details of the bird,

TFS (thanks for sharing)

Another excellent picture. We have this bird only in winter.

Asa cum spune Eliz este o specie interesanta. Poza este una foarte buna.Ai facut un crop perfec iar rama la fel.
