Hi all

Here is a shot of a Gadwall that I found when I was going through shots from this winter. I rather like the pose so I decided to share it. Please feel free to comment (C&C). :-)

Best regards

Another nice shot. You caught some color on the wings I haven't seen before

That's a real mastery to get a shot like that in poor light and against ice !

Very very nice, I love the wing display...I really like how you managed to capture all the feather detail and colours here despite battling some tough overcast light, excellent!:)

Stunner, another great photo Sindri. I love the plumage of Gadwall, and you have caught it beautifully.

I really like the feather detail and the exposure. People don't think of the Gadwall as beautiful. You brought out it's beauty very well.
