It was a very overcast day, but at least this Redhead was cooperative.

Damn, Harvey; those are beautiful. I haven't seen one of these ducks before.

Wow, Harvey, nicely rendered. But what is that alien substance surrounding the duck? It looks vaguely familiar...........

Beautiful shots Harv, The gray day cast a nice neutral tone that makes the red pop so well. They are really beautiful ducks.

Excellent IQ on those Redheads Harv. The water gives me the feeling that lighting was a bit dull for you, which makes them even more impressive. Great detail. I so wish for an opportunity to get close to ours.

Beautiful shots, Harvey. The flat light really make the colours on the bird's head stand out. And what a pretty bird it is. Great work.

These turned out great Harv especially considering the conditions. They are such pretty ducks and that red head really stands out in these shots. Very well done.

I'm partial to redheaded woodpeckers myself. ;)

Nice set Harv.
