Since there are no Snowy Owls in California so far this winter, we'll just have to settle for Wood Ducks.

Regards,
Chuck

I wouldn't call these just settling. Very nice.

The second one...the composition doesn't really have anything; it's a picture of a duck.

The first one is better. Better composition and the water drops falling off his bill are neat. Gives some extra life to the image.

Both look a bit oversaturated on my monitor.

Nice set of this beauty, Chuck. The low angle of the first image really makes this image rock.

Just beautiful. I like the first one, we rarely see them posted from this angle.

I've never been able to get close to these guys on the rare occasion I see one. Really like the first one. Nice work Chuck.

Really tough to have to "settle" for those Chuck - ;)
Both images are excellent, but that first image is definitely extra special in my book.
