Hi Rick,
very nice pic and very useful note! I´m not use to see this kind of ducks down here.
The DOF of the pic is great, also those shocking colours of the duck. Good light also and great details.
Water seems so calm there, a perfect place for swimming!!
Good work!
have a nice day
TFS

Hi Rick,
you have this fellow in a very good light and his colours show up very well in this well focused and detailed shot.Sad about your cousin's dog,that is a tough break and a good warning for us to keep our pets away from icy water like ponds and rivers.Your note is very good as now I know what those projections are named.Thanks for this nice spring time shot.

This is one for the wall or perhaps in small sized...but either way....having the duck coming into the picture from left to right is a good seen image from this end...for one reason or another....certain images demand to be picture left to right or vis versa...but this one works in this way so well.

Rick, this is a fantastic capture of a Northern Shoveler from a perfect point of view.
I like the composition, the colors and that subtle reflection of the bird on water.
Great work!

Splendido primo piano di questo bellissimo mestolone, ottimi POV e composizione, molto bella la posa con le piume del collo sollevate e l'acqua che scende dal becco, molto buoni i dettagli e molto belli i colori con un magnifico riflesso. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Rick,
That sound like a wonderful outing. But yet… and my condolence to your cousin.
As for the photo, yet another really good shot with great details. Love the colors on the lovely duck, the reflection very well captured. The light and color are well balanced, perfectly contrast and saturated. Very beautiful and natural as can be. Thanks again for all the kinds words and encouragement.

Oh, this is sad for the dog, life is harsh. Yet the picture remains beautiful and sunny and I can see you're back in Alberta. I have never seen this duck before, it is superb, what a head! You captured it with details and its beauty too. I love it once more! I am amazed you have so much wildlife in Alberta, so many species.

Hi Rick,

I feel so sorry for your cousin - it's bad enough when we lose them to old age but something like that is horrible. On a brighter note, this duck which I am not familiar with, is beautiful. Excellent lighting, beautiful colors and sharp details. So many lovely colors on his plummage to go with that gorgeous green head and yellow eye. You even show the water dripping from his mouth. The reflections are a bonus.
