Hi all

Here are two shots of Tufted Ducks. I had to lie completely still on the ground for quite a while to get the first shot but I think it paid off. Please feel free to comment (C&C).

Both are excellent shots , but the first is my favorite. All the time it took to get the shot was well worth it.

Very nice with the first one getting more of my attention. Great DOF on the bird and very good job on exposing the blacks and whites. What a beautiful bird...excellent work Sindri.

The dual inflight has uncanny symmetry, Sindri. That one should win prizes.

Well done Sindri. You must be getting a lot of migrants passing through right now. I've an excellent book about bird migration and Iceland figures big in it.
